The advanced CCTV systems have been installed on four ferries across yards in Scotland and the North of England in line with Ferry operators planned 2020/21 dry docking schedule – with successful handover to on time and in budget. This included the design and installation of complete network  infrastructure with over 160 internal and external cameras with operator stations located in the bridge, ECR and purser office, and associated servers, and UPS’s.

The sophisticated CCTV system gives superior coverage and image quality with full and unrestricted views of both passenger and crew areas, and machine and cargo spaces   with up to 30 days’ worth of video storage. The advanced system has internal and external marine cameras with zoom and pan functions including full 360-degree cameras for complete coverage with functions available in real time or on pre-recorded videos. The new CCTV system gives enhanced security that is built to last in even the harshest of environments.

The system provides remote tank gauging, controls all of the valves on the ship and provides fully automatic heeling control to maintain vessel trim during loading and unloading of cargo. The system also integrates with the vessels loading and stability computer, which was also renewed, providing it with tank volume data to enable the necessary shear force, bending moment and stability calculations to be carried out. With over 700 I/O points, the system is quite extensive and being an essential system requires a fully redundant continuously available architecture. The solution was perfect for Energy Gurus’s proven MAP-OE Integrated Machinery Automation & Control System as it was required to be delivered with full design approval from Lloyds Register of Shipping.

Energy Gurus provided turnkey design and project management services with Energy Gurus Electrical Engineers spending five months working between DeepOcean’s Darlington office and Leirvik assisting DeepOcean’s engineering team and overseeing the ship yard in carrying out the electrical conversion work.

• Power Distribution System Design for 3.3kV, 1kV, 690V, 440V, 230V & 110V Networks
• Load Analysis
•  Short Circuit Calculations
•  Protection Studies including Selectivity and Co-ordination Analysis
• Design of Clear-Coms, Data, CCTV, Lighting & Fire Detection Systems
• Design and specification of Power Management Systems Interface to Deck Equipment Heavy Consumers
• Design of Cable Management Systems, Cable Penetrations Cable Schedules
• DNV.GL approval and certification of all modifications.

Paul Cairns, Managing Director  says:

“Electrical power systems upgrades on sophisticated diesel electric, dynamically positioned vessels on this scale require extensive experience.
Taking large amounts of power from the vessel to power back deck and subsea equipment can affect operability of the vessel and unless
designed and planned carefully can adversely affect vessel performance. Also gaining class approval for such modifications is not a trivial matter
and requires an in depth knowledge of vessel power generation, networks and power management systems. The successful delivery of the
project further demonstrates Energy Gurus’s extensive capabilities in the Offshore Electrical power engineering field”
