Why Protank
Both worlds
Most makers serve either the military or the offshore industry. We build to both sets of standards.
The complete package
We make the tanks as well as the refuelling units, so you deal with one supplier.
Built to fit
Customised to your operation, designed for tight spaces, and suitable for retrofit or upgrade of an existing system.
Open and supportable
Controls use open software and commercial off-the-shelf parts, so your own engineers can maintain the system and spares stay available. The system can connect to a ship’s integrated platform management system.
Our own HIFR
We developed our own HIFR assembly, compliant with STANAG 3847. It can be added to an existing system.
Standards
Class: BV, DNV, ABS, LR, NK, RINA. Aviation and offshore: CAP 437, NORSOK, USCG, EI 1581. Tanks and lifting: IMDG, DNV 2.7-1. Naval: Mil-Spec, STANAG 3847, EMC, shock and vibration.
Track record
26 systems delivered or in build for floating production vessels, navies, polar research ships and offshore platforms. See projects
Through-life support
Inspection to CAP 437, operator training, spares and annual recertification, from a team that travels to your site. See services
Operator competency
A good system still needs a competent crew. We run operator competency programmes to CAP 437, covering basic aviation fuel handling, quality control and assurance, refuelling operations and best practice, and safety and control of operational deviations.
