Oliveira, CSI Partners in Wagenborg Shore Support Project

MV Lauwersborg is the first vessel in line to get a shore support interfacing system. For this shore support project Wagenborg, Oliveira & CSI joint forces to install a reliability software application on board MV Lauwersborg.

Oliveira together with their partner James Fisher/Mimic (UK) developed a program that consolidates and analyses specific condition data, identifying potential failures and recommending corrective actions. CSI Control Systems provided a cost-effective solution interfacing with the existing sensors and to supply the signals to the Oliveira system, without interrupting current systems on board.

The safe and efficient use of sea-going vessels is high on today’s agenda for owners & ship managers. The cry for reduced energy consumption and overall cost reduction makes the installation & use of new technology systems inevitable. Platform Shore Support is a unique network of ship-owners, suppliers, shipyards and government that aims to increase vessels operational availability & capability by collective power of SMEs (small and medium-sized enterprises) and innovative ICT application.
