✓Emergency and escape-route lighting
✓Temporary ATEX/IECEx work lighting and inspection lights
✓Ex-rated transformers, cables and power distribution
✓Explosion-proof ventilation and confined-space air movement

Why FPSOs Need Specialised Hazardous-Area Equipment

Floating Production, Storage and Offloading (FPSO) vessels operate in demanding marine environments where flammable gases, vapours, corrosive saltwater and restricted working spaces create significant safety challenges. Critical operations include crude oil processing, hydrocarbon storage, cargo transfer, inspection, tank cleaning, maintenance and emergency response. Equipment selection must match the vessel's hazardous-area classification, gas group, temperature class and project requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions

FPSO vessels require appropriately certified hazardous-area lighting selected according to the classified zone, gas group, temperature class and marine environmental conditions. Raytec SPARTAN offers permanent Zone 1 and Zone 2 lighting solutions, including floodlights, linears, bulkheads and emergency variants.

Ramfan EFi75xx, EFi120xx and EFi150xx are potential options for hazardous-area ventilation. Selection depends on tank volume, airflow, duct resistance, atmosphere classification and required ventilation performance. Fans do not replace atmospheric testing, gas monitoring or confined-space entry controls.

Yes. AJV offers Atexor temporary hazardous-area lighting, inspection luminaires, compatible transformers and power distribution equipment for maintenance, shutdown and turnaround activities.

Yes. AJV offers Raytec SPARTAN permanent and emergency lighting alongside Atexor temporary lighting systems, enabling customers to source different lighting requirements through one supplier.

AJV can configure a package comprising Atexor temporary lighting, appropriate power distribution and Ramfan ventilation equipment. The final package must be engineered around the vessel's hazardous-area classification, confined-space entry procedure and worksite conditions.

AJV supports hazardous-area equipment enquiries across GCC markets and can evaluate international offshore project requirements, including Angola, subject to manufacturer territory arrangements and project-specific approvals.
