Since the first quotation was sent from HERNIS to Excel Marco in 2007 the two companies have worked together on several projects involving CCTV systems. These days Excel Marco is implementing HERNIS CCTV as part of the instrumentation and communication systems for a jack-up drilling rig built in the Middle East.
Mr. Luis Fong, Project Manager at Excel Marco is pleased with the cooperation: “We are continuously impressed by the good service support provided by HERNIS. The CCTV systems are user friendly and easy to implement. These days we are implementing HERNIS CCTV as part of the instrumentation and communication systems for a jack-up drilling rig built in the Middle East. We have just completed commissioning of HERNIS CCTV system for one of the rigs, Hull 107 in September 2009 and are very pleased with the high level of competency and service provided by HERNIS service engineers.”
The CCTV system that HERNIS has designed for this particular rig is medium sized and includes three EX291C fixed camera stations, three EX286W PTZ camera stations and two Crane CCTV systems. The CCTV system in the Driller’s area consists of three PTZ and three fixed camera stations with Monitors and Control Panels for viewing and control purposes.
The design ensures full view of the drilling process. Two fixed cameras are installed to overlook the drilling area and one fixed camera overlooks the BOP. The monkey board and the casing stabbing board each have on PTZ camera whereas the shale shaker area is monitored through one fixed camera. A touch screen PC with the HERNIS Masterview Application is installed in the driller’s cabin for user friendly and accurate control. The two Crane CCTV systems are installed on the rig to overlook the topside of the load and crane hook assembly. The crane camera relays valuable information to the crane operator’s monitor. With a clear view of the load the traditional difficulties of manoeuvring the load efficiently and safely are reduced significantly. The CCTV system is supplied with complete documentation in accordance with Excel Marco’s requirements.

Other ongoing projects with Excel Marco are the MIS* Jack up Rigs, Hull Nos. 106, 108, 109, and 110 for which we will supply HERNIS 400 Compact Matrix systems, 3 EX286W camera stations, 3 EX291W camera stations, and 2 Crane TV systems.
*MIS stands for Maritime Industrial Services Co Ltd Inc, the shipyard at Sharjah UAE, and a direct client of Excel Marco. The jack up rig under construction is type “Super M2”, designed by Friede & Goldman, Texas, USA.
