Dublin Port installs multi-camera system on container cranes

Irish port service, logistics and renewable energy specialist Doyle Shipping Group (DSG) has installed an advanced multi-camera system on 14 rubber-tyred gantry cranes at Dublin Port to enhance port safety.

This follows the implementation of Camera Telematics’ solution – initially fitted on 44 terminal tractors, as well as 16-tonne forklifts and reach stackers, operating at the Irish port – which has contributed to a 35% reduction in serious incidents in the past two years.

“The camera system forms a crucial part of our strategy to develop the most advanced terminal in Ireland, using the latest digital aids to improve port safety and safeguard everyone working on site,” said Kieron Moore, SHEQ Manager at Doyle Shipping Group. “Working closely with Camera Telematics, we have implemented and expanded a highly effective camera solution that is playing a crucial role in reducing collisions, investigating incidents and enhancing Duty of Care.”

The RTG cranes have been installed with Camera Telematics’ iC360 solution, which has been adapted to meet the container handling operating requirements. The solution includes four cameras that cover the different views and angles needed to provide 360-degree visibility, with an in-cab monitor providing the operator with a complete view of the crane equipment. The camera solution is used alongside other digital safety tools, including an RTG laser-based collision prevention system.

Moore added: “The camera solution is a vital tool that enhances the other safety systems used within our digital strategy. As well as a real-time tool for our equipment operators, it is heavily used to investigate actual or alleged incidents, so we can quickly understand what took place, confirm liability and identify how best we can learn from the incident. With these proven benefits, there was a very strong case to roll out the technology to our RTG cranes as part of our commitment to continuous safety improvement.”
