AMOG's Smart Marine Integrity Checker (SMIC) is an automated mooring integrity monitoring system which can detect mooring line failures in all environmental conditions. SMIC provides 24/7 oversight of floating assets and alerts operators when a failure may have occurred, through real-time offset data analytics and machine learning algorithms. SMIC provides rapid indications of anomalous mooring behaviour to allow for immediate response planning - mitigating latent risks to environment, production, and personnel safety.

SMIC is a proven technology that has already been deployed on a number of major offshore assets, including Inpex Australia's Ichthys gas field floating facilities. 

Benefits

  • Reduces lag time from leg failure to response, and notifies of certain failures that would otherwise go undetected
  • Does not require instrumentation in the load path and addresses the limitations of simple watch circle analysis of DGPS data
  • Easy to retrfit to systems using existing instrumentation
  • 24/7 automated monitoring and alerting reduces need for manual analysis of data
  • Simple use, clear results, and 'anytime / anywhere' data interrogation improve the visibility and accessibility of mooring integrity
  • Automated periodic reports can be used as evidence for compliance and integrity assurance processes
  • Complemented by the expert support of AMOG's marine engineers and developers
  • Requires <0.5m resolution vessel positioning - if this is not satisfied, hardware can be provided as part of the system solution
  • Requires <80% reliable data feed - this can be improved by incorporating multiple data sources
