Working with several large Middle Eastern, Indian and Sri Lankan shipyards, as well as marine system integrators, Zenitel has recently delivered critical integrated communications and safety systems for 10 new vessels as the Middle East shipbuilding industry continues to boom.
In one of the world’s most challenging environments where workers fight the elements every day, secure and reliable communications are vital. That is why the new agreement between market-leading communications systems installer 4MS Network Solutions of Scotland and world-beating communications platform provider The Zenitel Group of Norway is creating waves across the United Kingdom’s offshore oil, gas and maritime sectors.
Zenitel has selected A-Kabel to manufacture a range of headsets for its Maritime & Energy product portfolio, where rough use meets durable Norwegian design.
The New York City Department of Transportation (NYC DOT) has ordered three new ferries to operate the route from Staten Island to lower Manhattan. The first of the ferries launched in November 2019 and the second on June 26 this year. The third is still under construction.
Sound reception systems are electronic acoustical navigational aids that enable the ship’s crew to hear audio signals generated from outside an enclosed bridge. The sound reception system is installed as an aid for look-out as required by the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea (COLREG), 1972 standards. Sound reception systems can also be installed on vessels lacking fully enclosed bridges.
Each year on June 25th, we celebrate Day of the Seafarer (DotS). This year Day of the Seafarer is celebrating its 10th anniversary since first being implemented by IMO in June 2010. At Zenitel, we encourage everyone inside the maritime community and beyond to help spread the word about the exceptional work our global seafarers are putting out during these unusual times.
The Norwegian Public Roads Administration plans to have all ferries run on pure electric propulsion by 2030. In Norway, this is called the Ferry (R)evolution. By 2022, there will be so many electric ferries operating in Norway that the annual emission cut will be equal to that of 150,000 cars.
Cemre Shipyard in Turkey has become well known for taking on innovative and demanding vessel concepts. DEME has concepted a new Twin Hull SOV (Service Operation Vessel) for Windfarm Operations together with Vuyk Engineering Rotterdam and Marin and the keel laying of the vessel already concluded at Cemre Shipyard in December last year.
CCTV systems are now, more than ever, part of our RFQs for both Marine applications and Energy projects. Less than a year ago we completed a full FAT (Factory Acceptance Test) for Equinor’s Mongstad plant, where we upgraded the old analog CCTV infrastructure to sophisticated IP infrastructure.
