Doyle Shipping Group (DSG), a port service, logistics, and renewable energy company, has installed a multi-camera system on 14 rubber-tyred gantry (RTG) cranes to enhance safety at Dublin Port.
The RTG cranes have reportedly been installed with Camera Telematics’ iC360 solution, which has been adapted to meet operating requirements of container handling.
This includes four cameras that cover the different views and angles needed to provide 360-degree visibility, with an in-cab monitor providing the operator with a complete view around the crane equipment.
The camera solution is used alongside other digital safety tools including an RTG laser-based collision prevention system.

Kieron Moore, SHEQ Manager at Doyle Shipping Group, said: “Working closely with Camera Telematics, we have implemented and expanded a highly effective camera solution that is playing a crucial role in reducing collisions, investigating incidents and enhancing Duty of Care.
“The camera solution is a vital tool that enhances the other safety systems used within our digital strategy. As well as a real-time tool for our equipment operators, it is heavily used to investigate actual or alleged incidents, so we can quickly understand what took place, confirm liability and identify how best we can learn from the incident.”
