WTAU's Deck Crane LMI Arrives in the Middle East, Providing a Strong Safety Barrier for Saudi Arabia's Largest Shipowner.

A leading Saudi Arabian offshore engineering company has reached a significant cooperation agreement with WTAU Offshore Engineering, procuring nine LMI for deck cranes to upgrade the deck crane safety systems of its core vessels, facilitated by the Saudi agent. This collaboration signifies that WTAU's safety equipment, specifically designed for marine applications, has officially gained recognition from a Middle Eastern oil and gas service giant. It not only provides crucial support for upgrading offshore operation safety but also demonstrates the bridging value of WTAU's Saudi agent in overseas market expansion, laying a solid foundation for WTAU Offshore Engineering to deepen its presence in the Middle East market.

As Saudi Arabia's largest shipowner, the company has built strong service capabilities in offshore construction, marine services, and underwater pipelaying. Deck cranes, as core operational equipment on ships, undertake critical tasks such as material hoisting and equipment transfer. However, they are constantly exposed to the harsh environment of Middle Eastern waters, including salt spray corrosion, strong ultraviolet radiation, and ship turbulence and vibration. Coupled with the extreme safety requirements of oil and gas operations, the reliability and environmental adaptability of torque limiters have become the core criteria for their selection.

• Ultimate Environmental Adaptability, Effortlessly Handling Harsh Middle Eastern Conditions: An IP65 protection rating withstands continuous wave erosion. Combined with a fully sealed metal casing and a tri-proof coating on the circuit board, it effectively isolates salt spray corrosion. An industrial wide-temperature chip enables stable operation across a wide temperature range of -30℃ to +70℃.

• High-Precision Intelligent Protection, Achieving Dual Enhancement of Safety and Efficiency: Multiple safety defenses are constructed through "end-to-end precise sensing + intelligent algorithm processing." Equipped with a "three-dimensional sensing network" consisting of weight, angle, and dynamic sensors, it captures signals such as the weight of the main and auxiliary hooks, boom length, and amplitude in real time, eliminating the risk of overload at the source.

• Forward-Looking Digital Design, Adapting to the Intelligent Management Needs of the Fleet: The WTL-A700 system is equipped with an industrial-grade fully laminated touchscreen, enabling dynamic simulation display of lifting posture. It also supports black box fault recording and SD card data export, accurately tracing the operation process and providing data support for predictive maintenance, significantly reducing risks.

• With engineering-grade reliability and long-term global validation, the reliability of Weite torque limiters has been tested in both the market and extreme operating conditions for over a decade. The WTL-A700 model, a star product replacing foreign brands, is a standard supplier for offshore platform cranes and has been widely used in large-scale domestic and international offshore engineering projects, including those of CNOOC.

This collaboration represents a significant breakthrough for Weite Offshore Engineering in breaking the monopoly of foreign brands in the high-end marine safety equipment market in the Middle East, and is further evidence of the technological strength of Chinese enterprises overseas. In the future, Weite will continue to provide customized technical support and rapid maintenance services to safeguard the development of marine energy in the Middle East.
