Display upgrade for marine shaft power meter system
Datum Electronics, a global supplier and manufacturer of torque measurement and shaft power technology, has launched an enhanced ECR display for its Marine Shaft Power Meter (MSPM) system.
Visually, the new display now incorporates the representation of analogue dials, as well as a digital display and is configurable via a Touchsceen.
Mark Gladdis, Marine Product Manager at Datum Electronics, commented “As part of our continuous product improvement programme, we have created an easy to use display, which delivers the cumulative energy consumption information, our customers have been asking for a format, which is easy to read, economical to buy and meets all the necessary demands of a modern fleet vessel.”
With fuel contributing to an average of 70-85% of operation costs, the (MSPM) system provides highly accurate information relating to energy consumption for ship owners, fleet managers and operators, especially since the introduction of the Ship Energy Efficiency Management Plan (SEEMP), which now requires that engine performance is measured and monitored.
