Tekomar

Challenge
The biggest operational cost blocks for the marine propulsion engines
Operation media and parts
Fuel oil
(Cylinder) lube oil
Wear and tear of components
Incidents

Time spent for operation and maintenance

Regular maintenance
Trouble shooting
Regular inspection
Performance assessment

Savings in the above = earnings

Attractive on charter market / reduce consumption
Prolonged lifetime of components
Simplified monitoring / inspection

Systems to support
Planned Maintenance System (PMS)
Optimize regular maintenance

Alarm and Monitoring System (AMS)

Optimize incident detection, initiate troubleshooting

Wear / Vibration Measurement System (Intelligent sensors, CBM)

Turn regular into condition based maintenance

Torsiometer / Flowmeter / etc. (Special sensors)

PMS

Measure exactly
AMS

M/E

CBM

Main Engine Performance?

Optimize consumption
Simplify inspection and assessment
Need to handle this!
