Servowatch joins up with Cathelco

摘要

UK-based Servowatch has been working closely with Cathelco to develop a fully integrated alarm, monitoring and process control system for its combination filtration and UV BWTS, a key component of the IMO approval process and US Coast Guard (USCG) AMS acceptance. Wayne Ross, Servowatch Systems' CEO, said: "By fully integrating Cathelco's ballast water management system with a ship's computer system, a single operator can control all of the functions from one location, saving considerable time and effort in complicated ballasting operations. But this is only one aspect of the technology; it also monitors the 'health' of all the major components and logs the data in a way that can be easily extracted for use in the Ballast Water Handbook - an essential part of the Type Approval requirements."
