Marine & Offshore

The harsh environment on a ship or a tanker require not just highly skilled staff, but also products which have the special approvals and features to cope with these extreme conditions.
This counts also for offshore platforms which extract oil or gas from the ocean bed and structures which generate renewable energy from wind and water.
In addition a reliable distribution service is essential serving the demand of the maintainers and buyers who not only work but also live on these solitary places in the oceans around the globe.

ATEX / IECEx approvals for a safe environment

 
Especially on offshore platforms which extract oil and gas it is essential to also consider products which are ATEX / IECEx certified for use within hazardous area environments. This is to ensure no harm is caused to people who work and live on these structures. RS offer a huge range of approved products from leading brands across many technologies.

The importance of ATEX on offshore platforms

IP marking and corrosion resistance

In some areas of marine and offshore ATEX approvals or special ship builder certificates are not neccessary. However, to ensure long lifetime and electrical safety of the equipment it is recommended to consider corrosion resistant material and/or products with a certain IP rating.

RS offers thousands of products from different technology areas which come with IP ratings up to IP69K. There is also a wide field of corrosion resistant materials like stainless steel or brass available which allow maintenance engineers and buyers to select the most suitable product for their application.

Personal Protection Equipment

The last but obviously not the least area to consider is personal protection equipment, particularly for staff that work in marine and offshore environments.
Working at extreme heights with strong winds and abnormal temperatures makes it neccessary to have the right equipment with approved quality. From safety glasses, to helmets, overalls, falls arrests, gloves, safety shoes and protection masks, RS offers an extensive range all from leading brands.
