What is the Ship-to-Shore Link?

The Ship-to-Shore Link (SSL) stands as a pivotal safety mechanism for all LNG transfer operations. Its chief role is to mitigate the risks of fire, explosion, or environmental harm. The fundamental objective of this ship shore link system is to enable a synchronous emergency shutdown of both the ship and shore facilities when any discrepancy is detected by the ship or shore Safety Instrumented System (SIS).

Straatman's Ship-to-Shore Link represents an innovative and top-tier system, tailored to suit various client specifications. Recognising the significance of the ship to shore link during LNG transfers, we extend the SSL system in an array of sizes and configurations. Additionally, we offer standby services for increased reliability.

Emphasising the need for global compatibility, Straatman's SSL has been meticulously crafted in line with ISO 28460, ISO 20519, SIGTTO guidelines, and SGMF. This ensures seamless integration with third-party systems that are also compliant with these international standards. The available links for the Ship-Shore Link system include:

6 pin Furukawa Fibre Optic Link
37 pin Pyle Electric Link
4 pin Pyle Earth Bonding
6 pin Miyaki Electric Link
5 pin SIGTTO Electric Link (in both Supplier and Receiver Modes)
2 pin ADN Link
Pneumatic Link
ITT Cannon Link

Incorporating the latest industry-standard technologies, our approach to the ship shore link system allows for customisation, ensuring it aligns with your individual requirements.

Project Configuration

For FSRU or FLNG projects, Straatman offers the innovative solution of integrating two distinct systems into a single cabinet. The advanced technology and spacious design of the SSL cabinet mean that we can house a dedicated module with an HMI interface for the ship side, along with a second module for the shore side. Both modules come with backup facilities. Such a configuration offers cost savings for the end-user, as it melds two separate systems within a singular SSL Cabinet.

Additionally, we have the capability to relay crucial data, such as MLM, through the ship to shore link system. This allows operators to conveniently monitor all vital information via the onboard computer.

Tailored to the specific nature of a project, our Ship-to-Shore Link system might comprise connector boxes, portable reels, fixed storage reels, and diagnostic equipment. Drawing upon our extensive experience and understanding project prerequisites, we discern the necessary components. Beyond these, we also cater to requests for PABX, Public, and Hotline telephones.

Hotphone

Our hotline telephone is engineered to be compatible with the now-outdated Iwatsu T3 unit, ensuring uninterrupted communication with third-party hotline phones. Constructed to be durable and resilient against the elements, the hotphone's design is dual-purpose, allowing for both flush and desk mounting. While it features an integrated speaker, an external speaker can be provided upon request.

In adherence to best practices, the Straatman SSL system is aligned with ISO 28460, ISO 20519, SGMF, and SIGTTO guidelines. Furthermore, it ensures compatibility with the linkages outlined in the SIGTTO guidelines. The link between ship and shore in any particular onboard SSL system configuration can be achieved through the collaborative efforts of the shipowner and the onboard SSL system provider.

The Straatman SSL system is in accordance with 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.
