MSA Safety announced it has been named a preferred supplier of portable gas detection equipment for Royal Dutch Shell. This preferred supplier status is part of three-year global framework agreement to supply portable gas detection equipment and other safety technology to Shell's offshore and onshore facilities and installations worldwide. A global group of energy and petrochemical companies, Shell has been a user of MSA products for more than 30 years. With the new agreement, individual Shell worksites now have the flexibility to work with MSA as a preferred worldwide supplier, providing access to MSA's market-leading and diverse range of sophisticated safety solutions. This includes the company's line of best-in-class connected portable gas detectors that offer web-based gas detection capabilities like remote live monitoring and fleet management. The latter is provided by MSA's Safety io subsidiary, which develops intuitive software to deliver comprehensive data-driven insights and analysis with real-time safety alerts.
