挑战

The Vessel Traffic Centre of Hong Kong Marine Department monitors and regulates all ship movements within Hong Kong waters. Over one thousand big and small ships enter into or sail from the port of Hong Kong daily. The volume of traffic that transits Hong Kong waters to and from the ports at the Pearl River Delta increases annually. At any one time, there are over three hundred ships moored within the harbor. The Maritime Rescue Coordination Centre, which is also under Hong Kong Marine Department, is responsible for coordinating all search and rescue operations within the Hong Kong maritime rescue responsible area, which is about the entire northern part of the South China Sea, up to the west coast of the Philippines on the east and up to the 10 degree Latitude on the south. The traffic monitoring equipment and the telecommunications equipment of both centers have recently been upgraded.

解决方案

The Hong Kong Marine Department selected ICONICS GENESIS32™ Web-enabled, OPC-integrated HMI/SCADA Software suite with AlarmWorX™32, TrendWorX™32, and GraphWorX™32 modules, along with WebHMI and OPC Server products. The complete turnkey solution that included microwave link, VHF communication equipment, radar Unit, RTU and ICONICS software, was installed by PCCW Ltd. The geography of Hong Kong required the installation of 18 remote sites spread over 7 islands. ICONICS GENESIS32 software enabled rapid development and easy deployment using its modular architecture, aliases, ActiveX controls and direct publishing feature of HTML pages over the Internet. The communication towers are built on the various remote islands and locations to collect data about the presence and movement of ships within Hong Kong waters. Communication with these remote sites is critical in terms of keeping the port safe.

运营影响

The senior management of Hong Kong Marine Department can now monitor and control the status of the complete communication system from any remote site.
Live CCTV cameras are also linked within the ICONICS GENESIS32 software, which are located at all the various sites.
Product stability and reliability were emphasized in the design and implementation of the project.
