Introducing Oversea Guardian

The Oversea Guardian is a group of innovative new tools to replace the guard vessels currently used for offshore sites across the globe.


It comes in both dynamic and static options to suit both short and long term guarding requirements.


The Oversea Guardian’s advanced tracking & software integration, remote operating and renewable energy powered operations give it huge advantages over the current guard vessel options

Dynamic & Static Models

The Oversea Guardian is a group of innovative new tools to replace the guard vessels currently used for offshore sites across the globe.


It comes in both dynamic and static options to suit both short and long term guarding requirements.


The Oversea Guardian’s advanced tracking & software integration, remote operating and renewable energy powered operations give it huge advantages over the current guard vessel options.

DYNAMIC

The dynamic option utilises an unmanned surface vehicle (USV) to patrol the required area. Using a hybrid power system to reduce fuel consumption allows for longer endurance while reducing its environmental impact.
This model is ideal for shorter term guarding options as there are no installation costs reducing the mobilisation costs to minimal levels. However, as diesel is still used, it can’t be used for the long term guarding options where the static model is ideal.

STATIC MODEL

The static Oversea Guardian option uses a buoy for long term, stationary guarding projects. Once the buoy is installed, it is 100% renewable using wave power to charge its battery and run its sensors allowing it to continue working indefinitely.


This system is ideal for long term projects due to the system requiring installation at its location, however once installed, operational and upkeep costs are far lower than the vessels currently used.

ADVANTAGES

  • Real-Time Data

  • The system can be operated remotely using TIMEZERO software with advanced software integration.

  • Reduced Cost & Risk

  • Reduced personnel requirements & contracting of vessels leads to large savings as well as reducing risk due to the operations primarily taking place onshore.

  • Reduced Emissions Using Renewable Energy

  • The dynamic vessel has both wind and solar charging options along with a hybrid drive to reduce fuel consumption.

  • The static buoy uses the vertical motion of the waves to produce all of its power allowing the system to run indefinitely in open ocean with minimal downtime.

  • Vessel Endurance - The reduced fuel requirements due to renewable energy sources mean that the system can stay onsite for far longer than conventional guard vessels.

  • Fuel - Both systems have very low fuel costs, the dynamic system has a hybrid engine using solar and diesel and the static model using wave power to be 100% renewable.

  • Weather Limits - Both the systems can stay out in all weather as both systems are self-righting. The static system can also continue to produce power in up to sea state

  • Mobilisation - Both systems can easily be transported over land or sea in shipping containers
