What is a Ship-to-Shore Link (SSL)?
Ship-to-shore link systems are the backbone of maritime connectivity, ensuring that ships can communicate effectively with onshore facilities for navigation, safety, and operational efficiency. The Ship-Shore Link (SSL) plays therefore a pivotal role in enhancing safety during LNG transfer operations. It effectively mitigates risks associated with fires, explosions, or environmental hazards. The fundamental objective of the Ship-to-Shore Link system is to facilitate the concurrent emergency shutdown of both ship and shore plants should any abnormality arise, as detected by the ship or shore Safety Instrumented System (SIS).
Straatman's innovative SafeCom Ship-to-Shore Link stands out as a high-quality system tailored to client specifications. Recognizing the paramount importance of the ship shore link during LNG transfers, we ensure a variety of sizes and configurations of the SSL system. Moreover, we provide standby services for added reliability.
