Reshaping Maritime Safety and Efficiency
The centerpiece of this partnership is the deployment of ScanReach’s cutting-edge onboard wireless connectivity platform, which will empower the “Stolt Breland” with advanced solutions designed to enhance safety, security, and efficiency. Beside the teamwork and close collaboration between the stakeholders Rui Pereira (Stolt Engineering & Connectivity Specialist) and Paul Robbe (Scanreach VP Sales & BD), the key solution features include:

1. ConnectPOB: This groundbreaking technology and application can be part of the safety infrastructure providing real-time personnel on-board (POB) monitoring, enabling the crew and management to ensure the safety of all individuals on the vessel. In emergency situations, ConnectPOB prove invaluable in coordinating responses and evacuations, ultimately safeguarding lives.

2. Vibration Monitoring for Preventative Maintenance: The inclusion of vibration monitoring technology will enable early detection of mechanical issues, ensuring timely maintenance and preventing costly breakdowns. This proactive approach to maintenance will increase operational efficiency and reduce downtime.

3. Gas Detection Sensors: Advanced gas detection sensors will be deployed across the vessel, providing real-time data on gas levels to ensure a safe and secure environment for both the crew and the cargo. Timely alerts will be generated in the event of any anomalies.

“Stolt Tankers has demonstrated trust and ambition in embracing the latest technology for the seas. This collaboration reflects our shared vision of a safer, more efficient maritime industry.
