The IMO has set the target to mitigate CO2 emissions from ships by at least 40% by 2030 compared to 2008 levels. To meet this target, IMO has adopted Energy Efficiency Existing Ship Index (EEXI) and CII, a set of amendments to existing regulations to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from vessels.

Where CII is an indicator of how efficient vessels operate, EEXI is the new IMO framework setting the minimum design efficiency of existing ships with Gross Tonnage over 400 GT falling under MARPOL Annex VI.

With just few months to go, ship owners and managers will need to prepare for EEXI requirements in advance by investing in appropriate solutions, taking the time needed to assess and improve their vessels. This is crucial to ensure that their fleets are ready by the beginning of 2023, having demonstrated compliance and having been granted the proper certificates to carry on trading internationally.

To help its customers comply with EEXI requirements, Chris-Marine has developed a Shaft Power Limitation (ShaPoLi) solution that will enable existing ships to meet the minimal energy efficiency level to comply with the upcoming regulations.

ShaPoLi system

The Shaftpower system measures the actual power and limits it at the maximum allowed to meet the ship’s required EEXI. The system is designed according to the GUIDANCE  of major classification societies and the approval process is ongoing.

Override function

To ensure safety at sea, the system is overridable in case of an emergency and overrides are automatically logged and easily audited by the relevant authorities through our SPEAT display on the bridge.

Combine EEXI compliance with an Optimum CII rating

The Carbon Intensity Indicator (CII) is an operational measure, targeting the continuous improvement of the actual energy efficiency of the vessel and is measured in grams of CO2 emitted by cargo-carrying capacity and nautical mile.

For ship owners to optimize their ship´s performance, there are several concrete actions they may undertake to enhance how efficient they can operate their fleet and lower CO2 emissions. One effective way to keep the CII under control is to monitor ship performance, including fuel consumption, and power output and use the data to decide on timely engine maintenance and hull cleaning. Those actions may be performed immediately, with up-to-date ship performance data enabling safe and efficient way of vessel operation.

Our onboard SPEAT system is designed to monitor and improve ship operation by raising crew awareness through Key Performance Indicators, allowing a cut in fuel consumption, and enabling ship operators to remain competitive in the market while increasing profitability at the same time. Our ship performance monitor provides a set of tools to operate ships in more economical, environmentally friendly, and thus sustainable ways.

How it works

LEMAG SPEAT is designed to give the ship operator instantaneous status of the vessel’s operational performance. Data is collected from the shaft power meter, fuel flowmeters and different navigational instruments. Collected data is analyzed and compared against a benchmark using Key Performance Indicators in real-time, enabling the master or the officer of the watch to assess, evaluate and take the best decision. LEMAG SPEAT is a future-proof system which can be extended with further interfaces to monitor new process areas and enhance functionality.

Reliable Fuel Injector Testing for 4-Stroke Engines

The Chris-Marine VPU 900-3 and VPU 1500-2 fuel injector test rig deliver accurate testing for 4-stroke diesel engine injectors. They measure leakage, opening pressure, and spray pattern, allowing engineers to quickly verify injector condition. As a result, operators avoid unnecessary servicing and reduce maintenance costs. Compared with other fuel injector test rigs, the VPU series combines speed, precision, and ease of use.

User-Friendly Design with Workshop Flexibility

Both VPU models feature a pneumatically driven, analogue design that ensures reliable and repeatable results. Because engineers can perform tests quickly, injector checks no longer require external service facilities. In addition, the compact and robust construction fits perfectly into busy workshops. Full spare parts availability further guarantees long-term reliability, setting the VPU series apart from alternative injector testing equipment brands.

More Than an Fuel Injector Test Rig

The VPU series offers more than standard injector testing. Since the system uses high-pressure hydraulic oil as the test medium, each spray test also performs a cleaning function. Consequently, impurities in spray holes are often removed during testing. Moreover, the pneumatically powered high-pressure pump allows the unit to operate as a fast automatic hydraulic power unit, eliminating manual pumping and improving accuracy when using hydraulic tools.

Options and Advantages Over Competing Brands

To increase versatility, the VPU 900-3 and 1500-2 support multiple optional accessories:

• Valve holders for 150+ injector types
• Oil mist separator for cleaner operation
• High-quality test fluid for precise results

Thanks to these features, the VPU series stands out as a strong alternative to other marine fuel injector maintenance tools, delivering higher efficiency, lower downtime, and improved return on investment.
