Working with Australian based professional engineering company, LogiCamms Ltd; Navtech Radar has implemented its SafeGuard anti-collision system to streamline the process of loading Iron Ore at Pilbara Port, Australia.
Pilbara is a Security Level 1 Port and the world's 2nd-largest bulk exporting port, loading ships around the clock, 365 days a year in searing heat, with temperatures regularly hitting 45 degrees Celcius.
The SafeGuard anti-collision systems are installed on heavy-duty, conveyer belt loaders, each capable of swinging through 180 degrees to speed the loading process by turning immediately from a fully-loaded ship on one side of the quay to the next empty ship at the other side.
Since its implementation, the SafeGuard System has operated in all weathers, day and night, and proven to be reliable even in this demanding dry and dusty environment. The staff at Pilbara Port report a very low rate of false alarms, easy commissioning, minimal maintenance and no need for routine cleaning.
