World Pipelines,
PortVision has received a licence from the US Federal Communications Commission (FCC) that allows PortVision to transmit AIS safety messages directly to vessels that appear to be encroaching on fixed asset infrastructure such as offshore pipelines.
Over the last two decades, marine pipeline accidents have been responsible for dozens of deaths and hundreds of millions of dollars in infrastructure damage.
PortVision has been working with the Coastal and Marine Operators (CAMO) since 2012 to use AIS and related technology to improve safety around offshore pipelines.
