Project Summary

Online performance monitoring of a shipboard diesel engine and possibility of remote access to key performance indicator is a unique selling point in the competitive shipping industry. Due to the uncertainty in the current methodologies, a new approach has been considered in this project to provide such capability. The key challenge is to develop online performance monitoring in real time which would be applicable locally and remotely through new methodology.

Project Objectives

The Project is aimed to develop monitoring product focusing on offering green benefits to a variety of customers in different marine market sectors. The areas for development would include:

• Implement the latest technology to develop new modularised monitoring product
• Develop intelligent engine management/monitoring systems with telemetry capability
• Emissions prediction
