pt_PTSafeCom Ship-Shore Link (SSL)
A Ship-to-Shore Link (SSL) is essential for safe and efficient communication between ships and onshore facilities. It ensures smooth operations, especially during LNG, oil, and chemical transfers. The main function of an SSL system is to provide a reliable communication solution for a synchronized emergency shutdown for both the ship and shore in case of any safety issues detected by their systems.
During LNG, oil, and chemical transfers, the Ship-Shore Link is essential for safety. It helps prevent risks such as fires, explosions, and environmental hazards. The main function of the SSL system is to enable an emergency shutdown of both the ship and shore facilities at the same time whenever an issue is detected by the Safety Instrumented System (SIS) on either side.
Straatman’s SafeCom Ship-to-Shore Link is a high-quality system, customized to meet specific client needs. Since the ship shore link is crucial during LNG, oil, and chemical transfers, we offer various sizes and configurations. Additionally, we provide standby services for extra reliability.
Using the latest technologies, we design our Ship-to-Shore Link (SSL) for LNG, oil, and chemicals to your needs, ensuring it meets your specific requirements.
The Straatman SafeCom SSL system follows the ISO 28460, ISO 20519, SGMF and SIGTTO guidelines. It is compatible with the links as defined in the SIGTTO guidelines. Integration with any specific configuration of the onboard SSL system will be possible with cooperation of shipowner and supplier of onboard SSL system.
