OverviewSafeCom Ship‑Shore Link (SSL) is a certified ship‑to‑shore communication and control interface designed for LNG, oil and chemical transfer operations. Its primary function is to enable synchronized Emergency Shutdown (ESD) between ship and shore, ensuring controlled, authorized and traceable execution of critical actions during cargo transfer.
Key product characteristics- Intuitive HMI and straightforward operation for on‑board and terminal operators
- Compliance with relevant industry standards and guidelines
- Modular, industrial design built for long‑term serviceability
- Redundant architecture with backup systems for high availability
What to expect / Operational benefits- Centralized control and clear situational awareness from a single control interface
- Secure, auditable execution of ESDs and other critical commands
- Industrial‑grade reliability based on PLC and SCADA technology
- Smooth integration with existing terminal systems and optional monitoring solutions (e.g. MLM)
- Automated data‑logging for traceability and post‑event analysis
Compatibility and standardsSafeCom SSL is designed to meet applicable standards including ISO 28460 and ISO 20519 and follows SIGTTO, OCIMF and SGMF guidance. Supported link types include:
- 6‑pin Furukawa fibre optic
- 37‑pin Pyle electric
- 4‑pin Pyle earth bonding
- 6‑pin Miyaki electric
- 5‑pin SIGTTO electric (supplier & receiver)
- 2‑pin ADN link
- Pneumatic link
- ITT Cannon link
Project configurationThe standard SafeCom SSL cabinet integrates two independent systems (ship and shore) in a single enclosure. Typical configuration includes:
- Dedicated HMI module for the ship side
- Separate module for the shore side
- Backup systems for both modules to ensure double safety
Optional / additional componentsAvailable extras based on project needs:
- Connector boxes
- Hand‑carried reels
- Fixed storage reels
- Testing equipment
- PABX and hotline phones
Data & integrationSafeCom SSL supports critical data transfer and automated logging. The system can integrate with third‑party onboard SSL systems and terminal monitoring solutions in cooperation with shipowners and onboard suppliers.
Design and qualityEngineered and assembled in the Netherlands using standardized industrial hardware and SCADA platforms to reduce vendor lock‑in. The design targets environments where operational failure is unacceptable and aims to reduce operational risk and human error during cargo transfer.
