UK-based Datum Electronics has released a new shaft power limitation (SHaPoLi) system, providing features and functionality to comply with theInternational Maritime Organization’s (IMO’s) Energy Efficiency Existing Ship Index (EEXI) regulation.
The new system offers dynamic shaft power measurement data from Datum’s Shaft Power Metre (SPM) solution that automatically produces voyage reports in support of the regulatory port authority documentation requirements. This provides an easy and convenient way to evidence and ensure EEXI compliance.
“Our new system is being delivered just at the right time when vessel owners are having to work hard to meet EEXI regulations and switch to a new way of referencing power exceedance. Sustainability is at the heart of the design in all of our products at Datum and the limitation of power will in turn save fuel and reduce fuel emissions, which is key to the future of ship operations. This module will not only provide real-time logs for adhering to legislation but also provide valuable data that vessel owners can use to improve operations and achieve fuel savings and efficiencies across multiple vessel types for years to come,” said James Lees, managing director at Datum Electronics.
The module is available to order now and will work in conjunction with other Datum condition-based monitoring products.
