Solutions for Marine and Shipping - ATEX Marine Cameras
Safety and reliability at sea
The maritime environment is one of the most demanding and hazardous operating conditions in the world. Equipment installed on vessels or offshore structures must withstand constant exposure to corrosive saltwater, heavy storms, strong vibrations and extreme temperatures. For this reason, explosion proof cameras with stainless steel housings and IP66 or IP68 protection ratings are essential for marine applications. They ensure long service life and reliable performance even under the harshest conditions, whether in LNG transport, offshore operations or naval applications.
In shipping and offshore environments, safety is critical. Explosion proof cameras and hazardous area lighting systems are indispensable in ship tanks, engine rooms and offshore installations where explosive atmospheres may occur. These systems provide continuous monitoring and illumination in hazardous areas without creating ignition risks, thereby protecting crew, cargo and assets.
ATEX certified marine camera systems and explosion proof IP cameras are used on ships to provide reliable surveillance of safety-critical zones, even under vibration and rough seas. Hazardous area CCTV systems are integrated into engine rooms to detect leaks, smoke or other irregularities at an early stage. On LNG carriers, explosion proof cameras are essential for monitoring pipelines, tank levels and loading operations during sea transport to ensure cargo safety and leak prevention.
Offshore applications include surveillance of helidecks, escape routes and muster stations, where weather-resistant and vibration-proof cameras ensure constant readiness under extreme conditions. IECEx certified offshore cameras are required for international LNG transfer operations and are widely used on platforms in the North Sea and other harsh marine environments.
Marine safety also extends to ballast water tanks and exhaust gas cleaning systems. Explosion proof cameras support compliance with MARPOL and IMO environmental regulations by enabling reliable monitoring of ballast operations and scrubber systems. Thermographic cameras provide early fire detection in cable ducts and control rooms by identifying rising temperatures before a fire outbreak. Corrosion-resistant Ex cameras mounted on bridges, navigation decks and offshore supply vessels deliver reliable situational awareness and withstand long-term exposure to maritime environments.
Why SAMCON?
SAMCON delivers explosion proof camera and lighting solutions tailored for the marine and offshore sector. All systems comply with international certification standards including ATEX for Europe, IECEx for global offshore operations, Class I Division 1 and 2 for North America (in progress), as well as INMETRO, PESO, EAC-Ex, UKEX and MASC for other regions. With rugged stainless steel housings, wide temperature ranges and resistance to saltwater corrosion, the cameras are built for long-lasting reliability.
From LNG carriers to offshore supply vessels and naval applications, SAMCON marine camera systems enhance safety, improve operational efficiency and ensure compliance with international maritime safety regulations.
