| Life
extension project for United
European Car Carriers (UECC) "MV Autotansporter"... |
| |
|
|
| Over
a seven week docking period in Santander, Spain we replaced
virtually every automatic control and monitoring system on
the ship.
In order to complete this project successfully within the
time scale allowed, many months of careful preparation and
planning were necessary during which we produced detailed
installation and adaptation drawings and carried out numerous
vessel surveys.
|
 |
|
| 
|
This
high level of detail was necessary to enable the new equipment
to integrate tightly with the retained equipment whilst minimizing
installation time.
By careful planning it was possible to re-use much of the existing
field wiring resulting in significant cost and time savings.
All of the documentation was submitted and approved by class
(Lloyd's
Register of Shipping).
|
|
The
work scope included removal of the existing alarm & monitoring
system, main engine & propellor pitch control system and
switchboard control/power management system.
These were all replaced with the latest marine approved Windows
2000 ™ /PC based distributed fieldbus system with multiple
operator workstations. |
 |
|
|
| 
|
Most
of the existing consoles were heavily modified both externally
and internally and some were replaced completely i.e. Bridge
Wing Control Stands.
The installation went very smoothly and finished with a relatively
straightforward and short commissioning period after which the
vessel resumed normal service.
