The OBSERVATOR HMS 3.0 system powers the "NGUYA FLNG" wheel

The 'NGUYA FLNG' ship is the first large-scale floating natural gas liquefaction unit (FLNG) independently designed and built in China by Wison (Nantong) Heavy Industry Co., Ltd. for the Italian ENI Group. The device has a vertical line length of 350 meters, a width of 60 meters, a depth of 35 meters, and a total weight of about 40,000 tons of upper modules. At the same time, the helicopter deck is equipped with the OBSERVATOR HMS3.0 system, which aims to provide comprehensive meteorological data for helicopter takeoff and landing, so as to ensure the safety of helicopter take-off and crew.

Compared to the previous version, HMS3.0 has a more compact design and is based on the Observator OIC (Meote link) principle, and various sensors can be directly connected to the central processing unit, which means less wiring in terms of installation and significantly lower costs for users.
The HMS3.0 provided by OBSERVATOR can interface with a wide variety of weather probes, including wind direction, wind speed, helicopter deck air pressure, horizontal air pressure, temperature, humidity, visibility, dynamics, cloud height, wave height, status light, etc. The HMS 3.0 from OBSERVATOR is widely used in drilling rigs, FPSOs, buildings, heliports, wind farms and various types of ships. OBSERVATOR HMS 3.0 is based on the requirements of the latest CAP-437, the Standard for Landing Areas for Sea Helicopters, 8th Edition. In addition, the system meets the latest requirements of the Helicopter Platform Certification Body (HCA) described in the standard helicopter platform monitoring system Rev9.

The system configuration is as follows

● Wave height sensor

● Wind speed and direction sensor

● Temperature and humidity sensor

● Barometric pressure sensor

● Attitude sensor

● Visibility sensor

● Cloud height sensor
