Royston installs EFMS on Malaysian OSVs

Royston has installed nine enginei EFMS systems for three different IOCs and this number is set to rise with the advanced system being included in the vessel contracting requirements for a number of other oilfield majors.

Damian McCann, product manager for enginei, said, “A number of factors have come together to produce a definite trend that has seen IOCs in Malaysia increasingly stipulating the need for fuel monitoring data provision in offshore support contracts.

“These factors include better visibility of operational costs and contract cost reductions, encouraging improved vessel working efficiencies and closer attention to emissions control, as well as fuel security issues.”

The enginei system features an expanded onboard flowmeter and sensor system, enabling real time engine and vessel performance measurements. The data is displayed live through a touch screen bridge display and information is also transmitted remotely to the enginei web dashboard.

New bunker delivery reports have also been included in the systems for the Malaysian market and local technical support for the systems is being provided by Time Marine, a Petronas licensed vendor and long-standing Royston agent.

Royston anticipates the enginei fleet operating in Malaysia will grow to between 20 and 40 vessels in the next 6 to 12 months, with a further 30-plus across South East Asia.
