Thu, 27 Jun 2024 13:51:02 +0000

Prosertek’s marine gangways represent the forefront of access solutions between land and ship, specifically designed to offer safety, versatility and operability even in the most severe conditions. This blog post delves into the operation, features, and types of telescopic gangways developed by Prosertek, highlighting their unique automatic disconnection system in case of emergency. Prosertek has developed a unique telescopic system that ensures maximum operational safety, low maintenance, and unlimited operational ranges. These gangways are designed to facilitate the transit of people between the dock and the ship, adapting to the ship’s movements through a free-wheel system that allows it to follow the ship’s drift in elevation, descent, extension, retraction, and horizontal rotation. In the event of an incident, our gangways detect the limit ranges and automatically act to initiate the ship’s disconnection. Types of Our Marine Gangways In this blog, we will explore the two main types of telescopic gangways offered by Prosertek: 1. Column-type gangways: with a simple structure, ideal for jetties with limited space, providing three axes of movement: rotation, extension, and inclination. 2. Tower-type gangways: designed for operations requiring large vertical ranges, compact and convenient, with four axes of movement: rotation, extension, inclination, and elevation. Throughout this […]

Prosertek is proud to participate in the LGT terminal renovation project: with replacement of the quick release hooks (QRH), installation of berthing aid systems (BAS) and new fendering systems. In its intention to modernize and increase the security of berths 10, 11, 12, 12, 13 and 14, and after several meetings with the concessionary companies, the scope of the project was defined: What are fender systems? Marine fender systems prevent damage in the interaction between vessels and the quay structure, as they can absorb the kinetic energy of vessels and transform it into reaction forces supported by the quay structure and vessel hull. There are various types of marine fenders, including rubber, pneumatic and foam fenders, each designed for different environments and operational requirements. What are Quick Release Hooks? Quick release systems are safety devices installed on maritime terminals, designed to allow quick and safe release of moorings or anchorages in emergency situations. The system allows a quick mooring to the quay or berth to be made safely by […]

The implementation of IoT technology in port management: advantages and challenges

Mon, 19 Jun 2023 10:46:43 +0000

What is IoT technology? The acronym IoT stands for Internet Of Things, a concept that we hear more and more frequently in various environments. Specifically, this term refers to “connected things that are equipped with sensors, software, and other technologies that allow them to transmit and receive data”. Examples of devices with this technology include smart light bulbs, a mouse, an autonomous car, or even a washing machine that can be controlled by an APP. How does it work? With the information that these devices collect, they help us to automate actions and decisions that may occur in the future. For this to be carried out, a 4-stage process must take place. Data capture: the sensors that IoT devices have, capture a series of data offered from the environment they are in. Share the data: through network connections, the devices send the collected data to a public or private cloud system (establishing a device-system-device connection), or to another device (generating a device-device connection) or directly stored on a local hard drive. Data processing: inside the device, there is software programmed to execute an action based on the collected data (it all depends on the device and the function it is […]
