Western Australia's maritime industry faces unique challenges, particularly with vessel access due to the region’s extremely high tidal ranges, which can reach up to 11 meters. These high tides complicate the boarding process from jack-up barges or jetties, posing safety risks to personnel and impacting operational efficiency. Traditional methods of vessel access often prove inadequate and potentially unsafe in these demanding environments.

This is why the RUD TECDOS system is recommended as an ideal solution.

Exceptional durability:

The extreme conditions of Western Australia's coastal waters require equipment designed for exceptional durability and reliability. The RUD TECDOS system is ideal because it is resistant to corrosion and engineered for long exposure to seawater, contamination, and environmental wear and tear arising from the constant buffeting of waves. TECDOS systems ensure long-lasting performance even in the most challenging environments.

Compact and easy to install:

A key advantage of the RUD TECDOS system is its compact design and simple installation process. This minimises disruption to ongoing operations and reduces the time required to integrate the access system into existing infrastructure. Reduced installation time minimises operational downtime and maximises project efficiency. 

Tolerance to misalignment:

The TECDOS system is tolerant of misalignment. Currents, wave action, and the limitations of floating platforms can affect vessel positioning and alignment. The TECDOS system delivers reliable performance even when equipment is shifted or not perfectly aligned. 

The RUD TECDOS system offers a comprehensive approach to vessel access challenges in harsh marine environments. By combining exceptional durability, compact design, and adaptability to misalignment, the system empowers marine operators to navigate the complex tidal conditions of Western Australia.

By leveraging RUD TECDOS, marine operators can enhance safety, streamline operations, and ensure reliable vessel access, thereby mitigating risks and maximising efficiency.
