MV KALLISTA Crude Oil Tanker Camera Installation

As crude oil tankers sail through global energy routes, "visual safety monitoring" becomes key to safeguarding navigation, cargo, and crew safety. The Panamanian-flagged crude oil tanker MV KALLISTA recently completed on-board camera system installation, with Xi'an Kaidun Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd. (Xi'an Kaidun) as the equipment supplier and technical support provider, demonstrating professional strength in the maritime monitoring field through customized solutions.​

As a professional crude oil tanker operated by Athenian Ship Management Inc. and built by Hyundai Heavy Industries Co., Ltd., MV KALLISTA has strict requirements for camera systems: it must adapt to extreme marine environments (high salt spray, strong vibration, large day-night temperature differences), cover key areas such as decks, cargo holds, and engine rooms, and achieve blind-spot-free real-time monitoring.​

In response to these needs, Xi'an Kaidun provided a "customized + high-reliability" solution:​

Environmental Adaptation Design: The marine-specific cameras meet IP68 dustproof and waterproof standards, with housings made of 316L stainless steel. Their salt spray corrosion resistance reaches over 10,000 hours, and they can work stably in a temperature range of -30℃ to 60℃, perfectly adapting to complex marine environments;​

Full-Scenario Monitoring Coverage: Based on MV KALLISTA's hull structure, a customized 8-channel HD camera deployment plan was designed—explosion-proof certified (ATEX Zone 1) cameras for cargo holds, low-illumination night-vision cameras (0.001Lux starlight level) for engine rooms, and wide-angle panoramic cameras for decks, ensuring full-process visualization from cargo loading/unloading to crew operations;​

AI-Powered Intelligence: The cameras integrate AI behavior recognition algorithms, which can automatically alert risks such as "unauthorized personnel entering hazardous areas" and "abnormal equipment movement," and link with the on-board central control system for sound and light alarms, upgrading passive monitoring to active safety protection.​

The installation was successfully completed on March 22, 2025, at Dubai Dry Docks, a core marine service base in the Middle East. Xi'an Kaidun engineers were on-site throughout the process, strictly following the International Maritime Organization (IMO) ship equipment installation standards to complete camera calibration, network debugging, and crew operation training. The system was put into use on the day of installation, with zero delays to the tanker's operation preparation schedule.​
