Long-range optical surveillance over open water surface
MARINE PRODUCT · SPILL DETECTION

SpillWatch!® LR

SpillWatch!® LR extends the SpillWatch!® detection capability to longer ranges, enabling surveillance of larger water areas from a single installation point. It is designed for applications where early warning over a wide area is critical — such as harbour entrances, shipping lanes, and offshore exclusion zones.

System overview

Long-range spill detection for wide-area early warning

SpillWatch!® LR uses the same proven UV fluorescence and infrared detection technology as SpillWatch!®, but with optics optimised for long-range operation. Detection range extends to 500 m, making it suitable for monitoring harbour entrances, shipping lanes, and offshore exclusion zones from a single fixed installation. The system operates continuously and triggers alarms with geo-referenced event logs on detection. Like the standard SpillWatch!®, an ATEX/IECEx explosion-proof version is available for hazardous area deployment. SpillWatch!® LR is used by port authorities, coastguards, and offshore operators who need early warning over a larger water area.

Capabilities

What the SpillWatch!® LR does

500 m detection range

Optical system optimised for long-range operation — covers a wide water area from a single installation point.

Early warning

Detects spills at distance, giving operators maximum time for response before oil reaches sensitive areas.

Continuous monitoring

Operates 24/7 without operator intervention, scanning the water surface automatically.

Automatic alarm

Triggers an alarm and event log entry immediately on oil detection.

Geo-referenced logging

All detection events are logged with position, time, and sensor data for reporting and enforcement.

ATEX version

Explosion-proof ATEX/IECEx-certified version available for hazardous area installation.
