Aquametro Oil & Marine is proud to announce that it has been contracted by Hartmann Gas Carriers Germany to supply Shaft Power Meter and SHaPoLi Monitoring Systems for a fleet of their gas carriers.
The first LPG tanker of the fleet has already been equipped with the Aquametro Oil & Marine Shaft Power Meter (SPM) & Shaft Power Limitation (SHaPoLi) Monitoring Display with more to follow in the course of this year.
Using shaft power measurement & shaft power limitation is an easy and cost-effective solution to meet the EEXI requirements. The Shaft Power Meter (SPM) is the key component for measuring ship performance and fuel/propulsion efficiency. The system is easy to install and requires no electronic parts on the shaft. The system operates absolutely contact-free.
The SPM measures the shaft rpm, shaft torque and shaft power. Based on these values the SHaPoLi Monitoring Display, that is installed on the bridge, monitors the shaft power limit and in case of exceedance gives a visual and an acoustic signal. All data, necessary to comply with Resolution MEPC.335(76), is automatically recorded in a tamper-proof manner.
The Aquametro Oil & Marine Shaft Power Meter and SHaPoLi Monitoring System are Type Approved by DNV.
