Testing & Commissioning – Engineered Reliability
Testing and commissioning is where reliability is truly engineered! Ensure your industrial systems are safe, efficient, and fully operational before handover.
Class approved PAGA System Upgrade
Upgrading a legacy, non-compliant offshore PAGA system into a fully class-approved solution. Through expert engineering, system integration, and Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT), the upgrade ensured compliance, reliability, and long-term operational safety.
Importance of Proper Wiring
In offshore installations, proper wiring is the foundation of safety, reliability, and continuous operations. From FPSOs to offshore platforms, well-designed and correctly installed wiring ensures critical systems perform flawlessly in harsh marine and hazardous environments.
Making Your Vessel Sea Area A3 Ready
Preparing your vessel for Sea Area A3 requires the right GMDSS equipment to ensure safe and reliable communication far from shore. From VHF and MF/HF radios to Inmarsat-C and EPIRBs, here’s a clear breakdown of the essential systems every vessel needs to meet IMO SOLAS Chapter IV requirements.
Mistake 7 – Skipping end to end testing
When everything looked ready to go live, a quiet engine room revealed what was missed — proper end-to-end testing. Half the PAGA speakers were barely audible, and the failover system failed to switch during a power cut. The cause? Wiring, calibration, and configuration oversights that thorough testing would have caught. The lesson was clear: installation isn’t the finish line, testing is the victory lap.
Vivo Asia in the UK
Vivo Asia in the UK took part in SPE Offshore Europe 2025 in Aberdeen—a four-day event showcasing innovation, collaboration, and the future of offshore energy. From cutting-edge technologies to valuable partnerships, the exhibition highlighted how we contribute to upgrading legacy systems and supporting the global energy community.
Mistake 6 – Failure to test alarm priorities
Properly testing alarm priorities in a PAGA system is not optional—it’s essential for safety. Even a small wiring mix-up can cause alarms to sound incorrectly, masking real emergencies and putting lives at risk. By thoroughly checking connections and ensuring emergency messages override routine signals, engineers can guarantee the system performs reliably when it matters most.
Why are Morse Code “U” Lights used for offshore?
Morse Code “U” lights are essential navigation aids that warn vessels of FPSOs and offshore platforms. With explosion-proof design, GPS synchronization, and IALA compliance, they ensure safety at sea. Learn how Vivo Asia supplies and installs these systems with expert engineering support.
Why Factory Acceptance Testing is Crucial
“Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT) is crucial for offshore telecom and safety systems, where failure can endanger crew and disrupt vital operations. By ensuring compliance, reliability, and resilience before deployment, FAT minimizes risks in harsh and hazardous environments
