Bollard Pull Testing
Conducts essential testing to measure the towing capacity of vessels, verifying the operational capability and safety of the vessel's towing power and engine strength, crucial for towing operations and certification.
Near Shore Facilities
Specialized monitoring solutions for near shore facilities involved in cargo handling, ship maintenance, and energy production, enhancing safety and operational efficiency while managing environmental and structural risks associated with coastal operations.
Ensuring Vessel Stability and Regulatory Compliance
Automatic Draught Indicator System (ADIS®)
The Automatic Draught Indicator System is a crucial maritime safety and efficiency tool, providing accurate, real-time draught measurements for vessels. This system utilizes advanced sensors installed around the ship's hull to monitor water pressure and calculate the draught accurately. These precise measurements are vital for ensuring optimal stability and compliance with loading regulations, thereby preventing risks associated with overloading or underloading.
The Automatic Draught Indicator System integrates seamlessly with both onboard and shore-based systems, enabling continuous monitoring and better management of cargo loads and navigation routes. This proactive approach to monitoring helps ship operators avoid shallow water grounding and optimize route planning, significantly enhancing operational efficiency and safety. By maintaining constant oversight of a vessel's draught, it ensures that maritime operations adhere to the highest safety standards while maximizing operational capabilities.

Innovative Monitoring for Extreme Marine Environments
Offshore Platforms
At Weir-Jones Engineering we offer innovative solutions for offshore platform monitoring. Offshore platforms are critical structures used primarily for the exploration and extraction of oil and gas from beneath the ocean floor. These platforms are engineered to operate in challenging marine environments, facing harsh weather conditions and high seas. They can be fixed to the ocean floor, float, or be movable for position adjustments according to operational needs. Ensuring the structural integrity and stability of these platforms is vital not only for the safety of the crew and environmental protection but also for efficient production operations.
With our continuous monitoring and maintenance services, we play a crucial role in managing the risks associated with offshore drilling and production activities. These proactive measures are essential for ensuring operational safety and efficiency, helping to prevent potential incidents before they occur.

Validating Towing Capacity and Vessel Safety
Bollard Pull Testing
At Weir-Jones Engineering, we offer Bollard Pull Testing, a vital evaluation process designed to measure the towing capacity of maritime vessels like tugboats. During this test, the vessel is tethered to a shore-based bollard, and the maximum force it can exert through its towing line is measured. This allows us to verify the operational capability and safety of the vessel's towing and engine power in relation to its rated capacity.
Bollard pull results are crucial for ensuring compliance with safety standards, assessing the suitability of vessels for specific towing operations, and providing necessary certifications for maritime activities. This testing is essential for enhancing fleet performance and ensuring maritime safety.

Advanced Surveillance for Coastal Operations
Near Shore Facilities
At Weir-Jones Engineering we offer comprehensive monitoring solutions tailored for near shore facilities, which are crucial for a range of maritime activities including cargo handling, ship maintenance, and energy production. Our services ensure that these facilities, located close to the shore but often subject to harsh marine environments, maintain structural integrity and operational efficiency.
By leveraging advanced monitoring technology, we help manage the unique risks associated with their proximity to coastal areas, such as corrosion, weather impacts, and fluctuating tides. Our solutions aim to enhance safety, optimize operations, and extend the life of near shore facilities.
