Vantage POB in the North Sea
Overview
Vantage POB is the Industry standard personnel tracking system for the oil & gas industry in the UKCS and in Europe.
Built for the North Sea
Vantage POB was designed for the North Sea - by Oil and Gas operators - to address key HSE, operational and logistical issues involved in transporting and accommodating personnel working in offshore locations.
Following the Piper Alpha disaster and subsequent Lord Cullen recommendations, computerised personnel tracking systems were developed for the oil & gas industry. In 1998, an industry project was initiated to facilitate sharing of information between these many disparate systems. The success of this initial project led a team of 14 oil & gas companies and industry experts to establish the Vantage POB shared solution for the safe management of oil & gas facilities.
Operational since 2003, Collabro has managed the implementation and support of Vantage POB globally under a software re-seller agreement, with the ownership of the intellectual property rights of the software with Logica UK Limited.
Vantage POB tracks 18,000 personnel working offshore across 250+ installations with 4500 users in the UKCS alone with 99.98% availability and 100% reliability.
Industry Standard in Europe
Vantage POB is today the industry standard in the UKCS, and is considered by the UK Oil & Gas industry as critical to the safe and efficient management of offshore facilities. Vantage POB also provides a definitive database of training
