James Fisher solution for another Ramform vessel

This follows the successful installation of Mimic onboard Ramform Titan, launched in 2013. The Ramform design’s primary aim is to collect seismic data quickly, safely and reliably. As a result, there is a continuous requirement to ensure the safe and reliable operation of the vessel’s machinery and other assets.

“To receive a second order, for such a prestigious ship as the Ramform Atlas, highlights the quality of our Mimic product and the confidence PGS has in our ability to deliver,” said Martin Briddon, engineering and business development manager, JFM.

James Fisher’s Mimic incorporates a mix of fixed and hand-held vibration monitoring alongside performance monitoring to provide detailed information on vessel operations.

The Mimic system will again be used to ensure faults are found as soon as possible so action can be taken in time to prevent failure.

“I am looking forward to continuing to work in the future not just with PGS, but other companies to tailor condition monitoring solutions to meet their exact needs,” added Mr Briddon.

The Ramform Atlas, which is thought to be the world’s most advanced seismic vessel, is the second Ramform design from PGS. It was recently launched at the Mitsubishi yard in Nagasaki, Japan.
