Krill Systems Inc. Announces Successful Installations on Two Seacor New-Builds in China Shipyard
Bainbridge Island, WA – Krill Systems Inc., leader in advanced Vessel Fuel Measurement and Monitoring Systems (VFMMS), announces successful installation and sea-trial of Krill VFMMS systems on M/V SEACOR Azteca and M/V SEACOR Maya, recently completed new-buildings from Fujian Mawei Shipbuilding Co., Ltd. In Fujian, China.
The SEACOR Azteca and SEACOR Maya are 285’ DP-2 Diesel Electric PSV supply vessels. Both vessels are built to ABS A1 Class (OSV) and full SOLAS. They are 288’ LOA, 5,154 DWT and equipped with Class 1 Dynamic Positioning Systems. SEACOR Azteca has anchor-handling capabilities and SEACOR Maya is a Platform supply vessel. Both vessels join SEACOR Marine’s larger fleet of offshore marine support vessels, serving the offshore oil and gas and exploration and production industry that operates in the Gulf of Mexico, Latin America, the North Sea, West Africa, Southeast Asia and the Middle East. The SEACOR Azteca and SEACOR Maya are currently operating in Mexican waters.
SEACOR Marine, headquartered in Houma, LA., is a leading provider of marine transportation services to exploration and production, oilfield service, offshore construction and military customers. Engineers at SEACOR take full advantage of the latest technologies available in the design of their vessels. SEACOR Marine’s operational, technical and safety procedures are revolutionary. The Company consistently employs the latest technology throughout its fleet of vessels, while driving the development of new technology in anticipation of customer needs.
Mawei Shipbuilding Co., Ltd. Yard in Fujian, China, where the vessels were constructed, has rapidly grown to become a top player in the construction of advanced offshore support vessels in China, boasting an order book that includes many world-class OSV owners and operators, it enjoys a growing reputation in this important market sector.
In response to the specific operational requirements of these vessels, Krill Systems was asked to supply fuel measurement data collection and transmission, in real time, in addition to Bunker measurement, management and reporting. Coriolis flow-meters were used, exclusively, to provide the highest accuracy measurement of fuel consumption, one of the options made available by Krill’s very flexible design format. The installed meters will measure the fuel consumption of: four (4) Main Generator Engines, one (1) Emergency/Harbor Generator and the Fuel Cargo (Bunker) discharge.
Krill Systems uses Microsoft SQL server database technology to record sensor data with 2-second resolution and storage capacity of at least one year with unlimited roll-over capacity. Any communication system including Cellular or Satellite internet access, supporting standard SMTP email protocols, can be used to transmit customizable reports and sensor data menus, to any number of operators, anywhere, with no monthly fees or charges.
“We are pleased to report the successful conclusion of this installation and look forward to moving on to the next fittings in this fleet” says Brian Staton, Vice-President of Sales and Marketing. “The installation, which took place in China, once again demonstrates Krill’s ability to operate on a world-wide basis. A key factor in the success of this project was the close communication and support between the two organizations and attention to detail, from initial ship-check to sign-off. Krill’s system design flexibility allowed us to respond quickly to SEACOR Marine’s specific requirements and deliver on schedule”.
