Offshore Support Vessels (OSVs) play an essential role in supplying offshore rigs with dry bulk materials such as cement, barite and bentonite. To support safe and efficient offshore operations, these materials need to be received, stored and discharged reliably.
Ruyter Offshore, a Lion Bulk Handling brand, provides customized bulk handling systems designed around different vessel configurations and operational requirements.
Bulk handling system configurations for OSVs
Different vessels and operations require different approaches to dry bulk storage and discharge.
Ruyter Offshore offers several system configurations:
Pressure Tank System
The Pressure Tank System (P-Tank) is a conventional configuration using pressurized tanks to receive, store and pneumatically discharge dry bulk materials.
Sender Tank System
The Sender Tank System combines hull-integrated atmospheric storage hoppers with smaller pressure tanks for efficient pneumatic discharge.
Re-Loader Tank System
The Re-Loader Tank System uses vacuum technology to remove material from atmospheric hoppers. The material is then transferred to re-loader tanks, which are pressurized for pneumatic discharge.
Choosing the right system
Each configuration offers different advantages in terms of storage capacity, vessel integration and operational efficiency.
The most suitable solution therefore depends on the vessel configuration and the operational requirements of the offshore application.
With Ruyter Offshore’s expertise in offshore bulk handling, systems can be tailored to support safe, reliable and efficient dry bulk operations.
