TRS: the engineered control system for safe & efficient tubular transport.

Stop accepting dangerous tubular handling as standard.

The TRS gives offshore teams a safer, engineered control for moving tubulars at volume.

Tubular transport still relies on unpredictable procedure and manual exposure, but the consequences should be out of the question. The TRS changes variable manual practice into repeatable engineered control that is easier to standardise and audit, delivering a global safety solution for the handling and transportation of pipe casing and tubulars.

The Safety Problem

Over a sustained period, it was identified that a high number of safety alert observations and events were related to tubular cargo handling injuries on supply vessels, with several people narrowly escaping serious injury.

This was contributed to:

  • Crew climbing on pipe to access slings
  • Access to safe havens restricted
  • Access to escape routes restricted
  • Pipe displacement due to operational conditions
  • Deck space restrictions

Delivering the Solution

The TRS has been specifically designed to tackle the main safety and operational hazards faced during tubular transportation and is helping to address major health and safety issues.

The TRS creates a structured and safe procedure for tubular cargo handling, with benefits including:

  • Removed need for deck crew to walk on tubular cargo
  • Protected walkway areas
  • Access to safe havens
  • Deployed in 60 minutes
  • Flexible tubular handling solution for supply vessels

The TRS allows 25% more tubulars to be carried, increasing deck space and operational efficiencies.

  • Improved safety for personnel on vessels

  • Improved deck space utilisation with 2m high stacking

  • Reducing load time at quayside and offshore

  • Flexible deck footprint - 90% reusable space
