Bulk Carrier
Cost-effective bulk carrier solutions - Level Gauging, Fuel Management, Integrated Control and Monitoring.
A major challenge in the bulk shipping industry is the reduced demand for coal and iron - the two largest segments of total cargo transported by bulk carriers. Bulk shipping companies struggle to reduce costs in order to maintain profit and must rely heavily on cost-effective systems and solutions with low maintenance and a high fault tolerance.
The Integrated Control and Monitoring System is a cost-effective solution, modular and scalable to the specific needs of your bulk carrier. Easy add on of subsystem functionalities provides a flexible customized system with upgrade possibilities.
The Electro-Hydraulic solution is a great choice for bulk carriers, due to it’s compact design that requires a minimum of space. You will achieve a reduction in installation costs by choosing this solution as this requires no hydraulic piping. You can cost-optimize even more by choosing a BUS-option which requires less cabling, less I/O modules and smaller interface cabinets.
For measuring level in ballast and service tanks different technologies can be used, such as electro-pneumatic systems, electric pressure sensors and tank level transmitters.
To increase the cost-effectiveness of your fleet, a combination of fuel management systems and ship-to-shore communication is essential. This provides a complete fleet-wide overview, vital in making the best economic decisions for your business.
The Alarm Monitoring System is flexible and can be set up to enable alarm indications at given locations, such as on workstations, alarm panels in accommodation or public areas to ensure the correct visualization.
Various auxiliary measurements and sub-systems can be interfaced and built into the Integrated Control and Monitoring System. This will give your operators advantageous opportunity to plan, monitor and react to disruptions that interfer with operations.
