In addition to the FGSS, the delivery includes a K-Chief 600 alarm, monitoring and control system, an AutoChief 600 propulsion control system, a Bearing Wear Monitoring System (BWCM), an Emergency Shutdown System (ESDS) and a K-Gauge fuel tank monitoring setup.
The AutoChief 600 propulsion control system will be integrated with the FGSS to control the main Fuel Gas valve, propulsion and main engine.
“Kongsberg Maritime has an established long-term relationship with Hyundai Heavy Industries and we are keen to support its shift towards building ‘Green Ships’ to comply with new ECA/SECA requirements,” said Morten Stanger, vice president, merchant marine sales, Kongsberg Maritime.
“Our diverse portfolio of integrated technology is designed to make shipping more efficient. Our systems make new solutions like Fuel Gas Supply Systems a viable option for more vessel types, enabling more shipowners to save money on bunkering costs and the shipping industry to reduce its overall environmental footprint.”{/mprestriction}
