Good reasons to visit Royston at Seawork

The main reason is that they will be shown a technology that might reduce their fleet fuel costs by up to 20%. The second is that anyone booking a demonstration of enginei ,to be held at the Royston stand (A185) during Seawork, could win an iPad 2.

Chosen for the Seawork Innovation Showcase, the enginei system has been developed out of the extensive knowledge of diesel technology that exists within Royston Ltd. It enables the master at sea and the technical support ashore to each view a real-time presentation of the vessel’s fuel consumption. Because the system is not connected to the engine’s controls, it remains a valuable source of information that the master and superintendent can respond to as they wish.

The experience of leading tug fleet operator Svitzer is that enginei installations encourage the more efficient deployment of their vessels and the use of the most appropriate speed for the circumstances. This has resulted in substantial savings in bunker costs at a time when they are becoming an increasingly dominant factor in every company’s operating budget. Although certain fuel management systems can be available on some of the latest and most expensive marine diesel engines, enginei can be fitted to any engine of any age. This means even the oldest and least fuel efficient engines can have their performance improved.

Visitors to the Royston stand at Seawork will have the opportunity of seeing an enginei system in operation and to view its unique combined display of vessel tracking and fuel consumption. If they send an email to Katherine.smith@royston.co.uk or drop by the stand and book an appointment in advance, they could also be the person leaving the show with a new iPad 2 tucked under their arm.

In addition to learning about the enginei system, Seawork visitors will also be able to pick up details about the cost and organisational benefits available from using Royston to manage and maintain all of their engines.

The company’s engineers come from a variety of OEM backgrounds and actively maintain their skills and positive attitudes at the highest levels. This approach, together with the quick responses of its project managers, enables Royston to quickly assemble teams that can work efficiently on any type for diesel engine. Ship operators consequently benefit from the convenience of being able to entrust all of their ship’s engines and generators to a single company that is able to fly its specialists to work anywhere in the world and fit in with a vessel’s docking schedule. This is particularly helpful for fleets with a variety of engine types as maintenance can be conducted in the most cost efficient way and with the minimum of vessel downtime. The company’s ability to overhaul any make or age of diesel engine can ensure that even fleets with discontinued products remain fully operational.
