RUP Excursion Monitoring System
The RUP Excursion Monitoring System (RUP ExcMS) is engineered to ensure the safety and efficiency of Floating Production Storage and Offloading (FPSO) units and offshore floating wind farms. By providing precise position tracking, real-time alerts for motion discrepancies, and comprehensive data analysis, the system enables operators to maintain optimal operational parameters and swiftly address potential issues.
Key Features
- Advanced Position Tracking: Utilises high-precision GNSS receivers and 6-axis accelerometers to monitor vessel movements across all six degrees of freedom, ensuring accurate and real-time position data.
- Real-Time Alerts: Continuously analyses motion data to detect deviations from established thresholds, promptly notifying operators of any anomalies to facilitate immediate corrective actions.
- Comprehensive Data Analysis: Integrates with the RUPDB SCADA software, enabling detailed data logging, trend analysis, and historical data review to support informed decision-making and enhance operational safety.
Applications
- FPSO Excursion Monitoring: Ensures that FPSO units remain within designated operational boundaries, preventing excessive excursions that could compromise safety and operational integrity.
- Offshore Floating Wind Farms: Monitors the position and movement of floating wind turbines, ensuring structural integrity and compliance with operational standards.
- Mooring Line Tension Monitoring: When integrated with the Mooring Line Tension (MLT) module, the system calculates and monitors mooring line tensions in real-time, ensuring compliance with DNV standards and enhancing safety.
Technical Superiority
The RUP ExcMS stands apart due to its superior technical design and integration of high-precision components, offering:
- Precision Engineering: Incorporates advanced GNSS receivers and accelerometers for unmatched accuracy.
- Robust Software: Sophisticated algorithms process and analyse data, providing real-time insights and facilitating strategic decision-making.
- Durability: Designed to withstand harsh marine environments, ensuring continuous operation and minimal maintenance.
Mooring Line Tension (MLT) Module
Enhance the capabilities of your RUP ExcMS with the MLT module, which offers:
- Continuous Monitoring: Real-time tracking of mooring line tensions to ensure structural integrity through calculations based on the position and sophisticated algorithms.
- Compliance with DNV Standards: Fully compliant with DNV-ST-0119 and DNVGL-OS-E301, making it an ideal choice for offshore floating wind structures and FPSOs.
- High-Frequency Data Logging: Tensions computed at 1Hz and logged in the SCADA system for detailed analysis.
- Proactive Maintenance: Visual and audible alarms for tension exceedances with email alert capabilities, enabling swift corrective actions.

Tanker Berthing Aid System
Where the operation is a tanker approaching an FPSO rather than the FPSO’s own station-keeping, the Tanker Berthing Aid System covers the approach, hook-up and disconnection — position, heading and motion presented to the Master and to the FPSO. More on the Tanker Berthing Aid System →
Mooring line tension
Mooring line tension is supplied as the MLT module on an ExcMS scope rather than as a system of its own. It is described above.
The software underneath
Both systems in this area are built on the RUPDB SCADA platform, which provides the data acquisition, alarm logic and logging the position monitoring depends on.
