HORTEN, Norway — Pertamina has asked Vissim to install a new marine surveillance system at the PAPA ONWJ oil platform offshore Indonesia.

The scope of supply covers radar technology, vessel traffic management system software, and an oil spill detection system. In addition, Vissim will provide installation and maintenance support over a two-year period.

The company’s software takes input from millions of data points to create situational awareness of a geographical area.

“This is the first oil spill detection module deployed for Pertamina. Our vessel traffic management system will digitize the area around the platform, and our radar-based oil spill detection system helps to identify and manage any unwanted incidents," said Mark Ravi, Vissim’s regional sales director in Southeast Asia. “This will help protect personnel and assets, safeguard the offshore installation, and help reduce the environmental footprint of the platform.”

Vissim has previously provided its system to other FPSO and platform operators in the region. In this case, the company will work as subcontractor to its local partner PT Warga Kusuma Jaya, a specialist in maritime navigation systems and coastal surveillance systems.
