Exail to equip Petrobras FPSOs with Quadrans AHRS in Brazilian offshore project
These units will be installed on Floating Production, Storage and Offloading units (FPSOs) operated by Petrobras off the coast of Brazil.
Exail has secured a contract with Brazilian offshore services company Mitang to deliver 30 Quadrans Attitude and Heading Reference Systems (AHRS).
The Quadrans AHRS provides real-time measurements of pitch, roll, and heading, with a heading accuracy of 0.23° seclat RMS. This level of precision is essential for monitoring platform stability and ensuring safe, uninterrupted operations during complex offshore activities, including in areas where GNSS coverage may be limited or intermittent. Its robust, maintenance-free design delivers dependable performance in harsh marine environments, supporting operational continuity and helping to reduce lifecycle costs. In addition, the system’s fast start-up capability allows for rapid deployment and swift recovery following power cycles or system interruptions, further enhancing offshore efficiency. Backed by Exail’s local technical support in Brazil, the solution meets Petrobras’ stringent operational requirements, ensuring smooth integration and ongoing service.
"This collaboration with Exail reinforces our commitment to operational excellence and safety in Brazil’s offshore sector, said Diego Fernandes, CEO of Mitang. By integrating Quadrans technology on Petrobras FPSOs, we are enhancing real-time monitoring capabilities that are critical for managing complex rig moves with greater confidence and precision."
"We are honored to contribute to this important project with Mitang and Petrobras, said Thiago Montanari, Sales Director at Exail. Our Quadrans AHRS exemplifies cutting-edge innovation in offshore navigation, delivering reliable, maintenance-free performance that supports the highest standards of safety and operational efficiency in challenging marine environments."
This new contract further solidifies Exail’s position as a trusted provider of advanced inertial navigation solutions in the global offshore energy sector. It underscores the company’s commitment to delivering reliable, high-performance technologies that meet the rigorous demands of offshore operations worldwide.
