Riser & Anchor Monitoring System (RAMS)
Riser & Anchor Monitoring System (RAMS) is a 360° riser and anchor chain monitoring system for FPSOs; it is deployed beneath the vessel and monitors the presence, integrity and position of mooring lines and risers 24/7 from a single sonar head.
Deployed through the FPSO turret ideally in the centre of the risers and mooring chains, the RAMS sonar provides simultaneous real-time feedback on the status of all lines.
RAMS is a dual-function system, monitoring the presence and integrity of mooring lines and the presence and position of risers from a single sonar head* deployed beneath the vessel.
RAMS incorporates a unique Beam Steerable Transmitter that allows the system to be configured on installation to ensure the optimum sonar return from the mooring lines and risers to ensure 100% target detection and reliability.
* Additional sonar heads may be required to see all targets depending on diameter and configuration of turret.
Unlike other mooring line monitoring systems, the Tritech RAMS system is suitable for long-term deployment capability as it has no mechanical moving parts.
Continuous data recording allows for detailed data export for offline trend analysis.
