Propellor power monitoring system gains BV approval

ShaPoLi (shaft power limitation) monitors propeller shaft power and signals an alert in the wheelhouse if it exceeds the EEXI calculated maximum power. The system logs the periods where the limit was exceeded and enables crew to give comments.

The solution helps ship owners and operators comply with IMO regulations to curb greenhouse gas emissions and reduce ship carbon intensity by 40% by 2030.

This certification follows earlier approval from DNV in June, and confirms that the system complies with IMO resolution MEPC 335(76) and can be used on vessels subject to EEXI4 overridable power limitation.

The solution can also be connected to the Ascenz Marorka’s online platform to provide real-time monitoring and optimisation to users both on board and shoreside.

“We are very proud of this new recognition from a major classification which contributes to make our innovative ShaPoLi solution accessible to more vessels,” said Anouar Kiassi, vice-president digital of GTT.

“Beyond regulatory compliance monitoring, we offer our customers a comprehensive suite of modules to help them reduce their emissions and optimise the performance of their vessels.”
