With 20 years of experience in the Marine Sector, Datum Electronics have created a dedicated Marine team with expertise in marine shaft power measurement, condition monitoring and the integration with ship monitoring systems, marine installations, and technical support worldwide. The understanding of logistics and working alongside ships engineers to provide the best results is paramount to good customer relations and the ultimate success of profitable ship monitoring systems.

A Datum Electronics’ Shaft Power Meter System accurately measures the power, torque & RPM transmitted through a shaft, enabling the measurement of the actual power, delivered by an engine to a propeller or a generator. This data is essential for SEEMP & EU MRV regulations. The cost of an accurate, permanently installed shaft power meter is relatively small in comparison with potentially large savings in running costs

The modern shipping era sees “Big Data” as a key factor, and Shaft Power is an essential input to ship performance monitoring systems. The data from monitoring actual power levels provide an accurate reference point to assist with assessing

• Engine Performance Monitoring
• Specific Fuel Consumption
• Ship Propulsion Efficiency
• Hull Condition
• Propeller Condition
• Operational Efficiency Planning
• Ship Condition Changes

A Shaft Power Meter is essential to help in the reduction of running costs relating to:

• Fuel Saving
• Improved Maintenance Scheduling
• Equipment Protection

The same system will provide data to assess the value of new equipment and operating procedure:

• Changes to Operation
• Changes to Fuel Types
• Changes to Hull Coatings

The latest Datum systems are fully modular and have been proven in applications for propeller shafts, thrusters, diesel generators and auxiliary equipment. The standard systems can operate to over 2000 rpm and at temperature up to 80C. Over 500 of the latest systems have been installed worldwide.

Datum Electronics provide highly accurate shaft power meter systems for commercial ships including tankers, bulkers, container ships, work boats, dredgers and cruise ships, as well as naval and military vessels.

Datum has an established network of distributors and partners in China, Netherlands, Germany, Singapore, Sweden, Denmark, Australia, Korea, and the USA. This network of authorised and certified partners can provide additional local technical and sales support to that provided by the dedicated team at the Datum HQ
