We will be showcasing the Datum Electronics Shaft Power Meter systems at the SMM International Trade Fair, the most important event in the maritime industry calendar, taking place in Hamburg from the 4th– 7thof September 2018. This event is an excellent opportunity to meet with our team, to discuss your requirements, along with the benefits, and to view our products and systems.
Along with leading experts in the shipbuilding and marine industries, we are looking forward to demonstrating the benefits of our Shaft Power Meter Systems and how they can improve ship performance, optimize fuel savings and reduce emissions.
Mark Gladdis, Marine Product Manager at Datum Electronics Ltd said: “ In recent times the shipping industry has been working to adopt new technologies. We are now on the verge of a sea change with shipping technology and about to witness how significant sustainability and cutting down CO2 emissions are essential for the maritime sector”.
Recently, the IMO has set emission reduction targets for the shipping industry, in the form of the mandatory energy-efficiency requirements, such as EEDI (Energy Efficiency Design Index)and SEEMP (Ship Energy Efficiency Management Plan). Ship owners and ship operators globally are now reviewing cost-effective solutions to improve fleet operational efficiency and reduce fuel consumption.
Datum’s Shaft Power Meters measure important information and data relating to a vessel’s propulsion systems such as, torque, power, rpm and thrust & bending (optional), to ensure optimum performance is maintained throughout the lifecycle of the vessel and fleet. Using cutting-edge technology, the system is highly accurate and maintenance free, unlocking a significant amount of information about the engine, propulsion shaft and propeller performance. Whether it’s a small workboat, or a large ocean-going vessel, data from the Datum Shaft Power Meter help ship owners and operators calculate and improve the vessel’s $ per kW ratio, throughout a whole range of operating conditions.
