Namely,  ILTA 2022, the trade fair and conference specialised in the liquid terminals segment taking place from 13 to 15 June in Houston, Texas. Considered the largest meeting in its sector, the fair is now in its 42nd year under the organisation of the International Liquid Terminals Association (ILTA). This first post-pandemic edition of the event hopes to be attended by more than 4,500 professionals from the liquid terminal sector. ILTA 2022 takes place over 3 days with a full agenda of educational sessions, conferences, networking and a large trade exhibition that will be attended by Prosertek. The exchange of information appears to be an increasingly important aspect at a time when the terminal sector is now more innovative and dynamic than ever. And the topics covered this year include environmental management and monitoring of emissions and how to adapt to spill prevention regulations (SPCC). Technology will play an important role with the digital transformation of work at terminals, the use of innovative tank and pipeline inspection and cleaning technologies, blockchain and cybersecurity.  This year’s conferences will have a more participatory approach, with other challenges also being […]

]]> Advantages of Quick-Release Hooks for mooring systems https://prosertek.com/blog/advantages-quick-release-hooks/ Mon, 01 Mar 2021 10:15:39 +0000 https://prosertek.comblog/advantages-quick-release-hooks/ Quick-release hooks are a piece of equipment that act as the foundation for a safe mooring system at any port. Let us see what a quick-release hook consists of, and its advantages in a port terminal. Berthing manoeuvres are one of the riskiest at ports. To properly do so while reducing risks as much as possible, all ports have certain equipment, such as fenders, bollards, and the topic at hand today: quick-release hooks, known as QRH. Quick-release hooks are the foundation for all integrated, modern, and advanced mooring systems. They allow both to quickly secure a vessel to a dock with minimum effort, and to release it quickly and easily, both in normal and in emergency operations. Which is why they are vital for safety and efficiency at ports. The QRH and safety When speaking of a quick-release hook, safety is the primary advantage that comes to mind. But, what specifically does this safety entail? It protects the ship by securing berthing, since it is designed to resist tough marine environments. Furthermore, QRH protects it from damage to mooring elements due to excessive tension, if equipped with a tension monitoring system on the claws. It protects freight, avoiding brusque movements, […]

]]> 1st World Marine Aids to Navigation Day https://prosertek.com/blog/world-marine-aids-navigation/ Tue, 30 Jul 2019 12:22:23 +0000 https://prosertek.comblog/world-marine-aids-navigation/ The first “World Marine Aids to Navigation Day (WAtoN-Day)” took place on 1 July last. A date chosen to commemorate, promote and publicise all the port maritime systems, devices, and services used to improve the safety and efficiency of navigation, as well as the preservation of the environment. The navigation aid harmonisation festival This event is sponsored by the International Association of Marine Aids to Navigation and Lighthouse Authorities (IALA). IALA is a non-profit international technical association founded in 1957. Its main purpose is the exchange of experiences among everyone involved in the navigation aid sector (, navigation authorities, manufacturers, consultants, scientific institutes, etc.) with the aim of harmonising these aids globally and thus making sea transport safer and more efficient, while protecting the environment. And it was Spain that put the idea of celebrating this day to IALA, and was therefore the country selected to host the central event on an international level of the first year of this event, through the coordination of State Ports. However, the different member countries of IALA were invited to create their own agenda of events, with the event therefore taking place in several countries, including Denmark, Argentina, Uruguay, Brazil, Japan and Korea.
