Jerryborg Marine’s FMS (Fender Monitoring System) is a condition monitoring system for inflatable fenders, primarily designed to track the fender’s operational status in real time during berthing.   In port and offshore engineering projects, inflatable fenders are typically subjected to repeated pressure changes over extended periods, with internal pressure fluctuating continuously as the ship berths….

An offshore drilling platform is a marine structure primarily used for drilling wells. It is equipped with drilling, power, communication, and navigation systems, as well as safety, lifesaving, and living facilities. It is an indispensable tool for offshore oil and gas exploration and development.   Classification by structure: (1) Mobile Offshore Drilling Units (MODU): Jack-up…

Ships and vessels are protected by modern features that prevent accidents. However, sometimes these accidents cannot be prevented despite having modern features. That’s where marine salvage comes in handy. It assists in rescuing the ship or vessel under threat. There are different types of marine salvage.   Each marine salvage operation is unique. Some salvage…

Ships and vessels perform different marine operations. Among these, berthing is an important activity that is done to park the ship or vessel on a dock or pier. Sometimes, a ship is berthed using mooring anchors. However, many people don’t know how to berth ships using mooring anchors.    Interestingly, many people seem to be…

Mooring bollards are important equipment used in marine operations. They are small posts found in harbors, docks, or ports to tie ships and boats. In other words, these posts serve as tie points to help keep boats and ships secured in the harbor. However, there are a few commonly used mooring bollards that you’ll see…

Protection of ships and vessels is the utmost priority during marine operations. The reason is that these vessels are very expensive. To make them safer, different equipment is used during marine operations. Among these, pneumatic fenders are commonly used. However, many people don’t understand the basics of pneumatic fenders.   However, pneumatic fenders play a…

An anchor is an object that ships drop in a water body during their stay. It goes deep into the seabed and keeps the ship safe against unnecessary drifting. Anchors remain connected to the ship via strong, rugged chains. There are different components of an anchor chain that can withstand the load when the anchor…

In the past, only smaller ships were used in the marine industry. However, things have changed, as large vessels now transport large amounts of goods. However, these large vessels cannot turn, especially in narrow passages. That’s where the tugboats come in handy. Interestingly, there are different types of tugboats used at sea.   These types…

Small vessels can easily dock or berth in ports. However, large vessels with significant oil or gas transportation capacity are massive. Maneuvering them in ports is very challenging. As a result, the single-point mooring method is useful, as it allows vessels to stay in open water. But how do Single Point Mooring (SPM) Offshore Operations…

In offshore oil and gas field development, FPSOs are typically positioned in a fixed sea area for long-term oil and gas extraction. Due to limitations on riser deflection, the FPSO’s displacement range is also relatively restricted. FPSOs can be positioned using multi-point mooring, a simple and inexpensive system, but it is highly dependent on local…
