Abstract

This paper is dedicated to certain types of measurement in ship systems, analyzed based on selected case studies. In the introductory part, a simplified structure of a modern cargo ship as an object of measurement and control is presented. Next, the role of measurement in the ship’s operation process is described and commented on, with focus on specifics of local and remote control, both manual and automatic. The key part of the paper is dedicated to a short overview of selected examples of measuring and monitoring systems. The basic criteria for the aforementioned selection are the vital role of the considered systems for safe and effective ship operation as well as documented innovative contribution of Gdynia Maritime University (GMU) in development of the state-of-the-art in the analysed area of measurement. Based on these criteria, the monitoring of operational parameters of main engine and temperature measurement in the ships hazardous areas have been chosen. The aforementioned measurement and monitoring systems are analysed, taking into account both innovation of technical solutions together with their ship technology environment conditions and related legal requirements. Finally, some concluding remarks are formulated.

Highlights

  • The core information of this paper is based on a recently published paper [1], describing the problem of the vital role of measurement and monitoring of the operational parameters of main engine and temperature measurement in the ship’s hazardous areas for safe and effective ship operation as a whole.Ships are very sophisticated maritime, industry objects

  • In this paper two typical case studies related to ship practice are presented. These studies are susceptible to electromagnetic interference and disturbances of power supply than traditional addressed to critical operational parameters, like main engine parameters in ships’ power plants analog systems

  • Ship measurement methods require individual and specific approach, because context, well known currently existing and applied measurement methods and devices should be of the marine environment influence

Summary

Introduction

The core information of this paper is based on a recently published paper [1], describing the problem of the vital role of measurement and monitoring of the operational parameters of main engine (power system) and temperature measurement in the ship’s hazardous areas (cargo system) for safe and effective ship operation as a whole. In this paper two typical case studies related to ship practice are presented These studies are susceptible to electromagnetic interference and disturbances of power supply than traditional addressed to critical operational parameters, like main engine parameters in ships’ power plants analog systems. A novelty of this paper concerns the carrying out and analysis of the theoretical analysis of the temperature measurement line of liquefied gas in tanks together with main engine signals as well as the experimental research of newly implemented SeaPerformer consequences resulting from it. This in-depth analysis is resulting in identifying and explaining.
