Tank Measuring & Control Systems

The Integrated Solutions for Tankers represents a hardware and software package providing full automation of the vessel’s operations. It provides centralized remote automated control and monitoring, emergency alarm and status alarm of the following:

• Cargo and ballast operations
• Cargo level, temperature and pressure monitoring
• Tank sounding system for ballast and service tanks
• High/Overfill system for cargo tanks
• Cargo and ballast pumps operation
• Monitoring and control valves
• Online monitoring of loading, stability and floatability
• Manifold pressure and temperature monitoring
• Overfill detection for service tanks
• Draft, trim/list monitoring

The Integrated Solutions for Tankers is a reliable and powerful tool for safe and efficient vessel operation. The unique and modular design of the system enables tailor-made solutions for any type of tanker vessels. The system’s hardware and software are 100% developed and manufactured by API Marine, and it is an “open source” system with the possibility of integrating third-party equipment.

The API Marine Integrated Automation System provides full control of all activities related to tank monitoring and control on board bulk carriers and other commercial vessels.

The system is modular and applications can be tailor-made to meet requirements for most types of vessels. The Integrated Automation System provides easy monitoring full control, ballast and service tanks.

User-friendly and modern operating software makes the system easy to operate and gives the user full control at any time. It is possible to monitor alarm and separate parameters such as level, pressure, temperature, as well as ship’s draft, trim and heel.

The Integrated Automation System allows easy control of different equipment such as valves, pumps, actuators, and other equipment as required. The user interface can be adapted to match any application and customer’s preferred layout.

The unmatched design of the system hardware and software is 100% developed by API Marine.

Functions of the system

• Monitoring and control valves and pumps
• Engine room monitoring and alarm system
• Tank sounding system for ballast and service tanks
• High level and overfill alarm
• Tank temperature alarm system
• Draft, trim/list monitoring

LNG Custody Transfer System – for LNG CTS/eCTS applications on small and medium scale LNG vessels, LNG Bunker vessels, LNG Feeders and FSRU’s.

The LNG CTS/eCTS can be supplied as a stand-alone solution, and as well is interfaceable system to most integrated automation systems (IAS).

API Marine LNG CTS/eCTS solutions consist of a highly advanced set of reliable sensors, packed with unique features, providing the user with the possibility of controlling all the main parameters in the LNG fuel tank with unrivalled results.

With the API Marine solution, you will be able to measure level, pressure, temperature (in multiple levels), as well as provide alarm indication for level (high and low-level alarms).

The solution utilizes cutting-edge patented inhouse technology in level measurement sensors and level switching, allowing stable and accurate readings in low media temperatures, reaching down to -200°C.

The LNG fuel tank solution can be supplied for virtually all types of vessels, including passenger vessels, tankers, container vessels, bulk carriers – be it newbuilding with a dual fuel system or during conversion of conventional fuel system into a dual fuel system.

The Valve Remote Control System (VRC) provided by API Marine is designed according to shipyards specifications as well as meeting the full requirement quality and reliability of modern shipowner as well as the requirements of all major Classifications Societies.

The API Marine Valve Remote Control System (VRC) provides a centralized and single point of view of all valve and actuator positions as well the capabilities and full control over the operation of the actuator and valves.

The mimics of the system is “taylor made” to the specific vessel and its operations, and gives the client flexibility and ability to manage and control at the same time.

The Valve Remote Control System (VRC) is fully integrated with the API Marine tank management system, and can be fully integrated with any shipyard specific tank management system.
