In combination, KONGSBERG tank management, automation, propulsion control and navigation subsystems enhance and improve the operation of tankers. The ultimate so- lution is attained when the subsystems work together in an integrated control system that includes a fully backed-up, system-wide communication network. Essential components such as deck sensors and radar tank gauges yield the best re- sults that technology has to offer in terms of reliability, accuracy and durability. By uti- lizing the HART* Field Communications protocol for deck and tank instrumentation, installation costs are...

Operate with confidence The K-Cauge tank management concept consist of several applications modules, ranging from tank instrumentation to fully automated tank management. Thus, the concept is fully scalable and can be tailored to individual vessels and operational The tank management concept utilizes multifunction operator stations, provid- ing monitoring and control facilities, with remote operation of pumps and valves. Graphical process views provide the operators with a full picture of the cargo and ballast system as well as for the loading condition. Additionally, color coding distin-...

Tank management Automated tank management Pre-defined or previously stored loading operations are available for the opera- tor and the system will guide the operator through planning and validation during preparation for new loading operations. Once the plan has been validated, the loading can be executed. The operator starts by lining up the first tank in the plan to seaside as in manual mode for gravity run out. When the conditions have been reached, the auto execution can be initiated. The auto execution will end when all the tanks in the plan have reached final level. Operation from...

Loading computer Safe loading The KONCSBERC ShipLoad loading computer utilizes 3-D models of the vessels' hydrostatic - a full geometric definition of the vessels - as basis for the calculation of e.g. loading conditions, floating position, and stability and longitudinal strength. There are no pre-computed tables, no simplifications or assumptions, but only a precise description of the actual loading condition. Thus, what you see is exactly what you have - no dead-freight or overload. By utilizing the full geometrical definition of the vessel as basis for the computa- tion, additional...
