Tank management systems – made in Germany.
Shipping companies, shipyards, crews as well as ship outfitters have to deal with ship technology and tank management on a daily basis. Foreground issues here are, on the one hand, increasing safety for crew, ship and cargo, and on the other, optimising profitability.
Under these constraints internationally active German family businesses, Pleiger Maschinenbau and VEGA Grieshaber, have bundled their know-how to provide single source tank management systems for oil and chemical tankers.
Pleiger Maschinenbau, as part of the Pleiger consortium based in Witten, North Rhine-Westphalia, is an innovation leader in the area of automation, as well as the design and manufacture of complete electronic and hydraulic components and systems for remote operation of valves and other auxiliary equipment. Technology from Pleiger is installed on over 5000 ships worldwide.
Safe and reliable measurement technology is required for the monitoring of cargo, fuel and ballast levels. For this, Pleiger relies on a world leader in radar technology, level, switching and pressure instrumentation – VEGA Grieshaber. This full-range supplier has the right sensors for every job, including: cargo tank measurement; tracking fuel supplies and ballast handling. VEGA sensors are already in use under the toughest conditions on over 1000 ships.
By integrating VEGA measurement technology into its own control systems Pleiger can supply the instrumentation in addition to the controls and actuators and thus offer a complete solution. One supplier, one contact person: a great advantage that saves time and money, for shipping companies, shipyards and, ultimately, the crew.
The advanced measurement technology – made in Germany – integrated in the innovative, fieldbus-supported Pleiger process control systems, guarantees the reliability of the entire automation and measuring system.
Andreas Harmes, managing director of Pleiger Maschinenbau sums it up: “Through the cooperation with VEGA, we do justice to the growing requirements of the shipbuilding industry worldwide, especially in the area of oil and chemical tankers, and set the course for further competent cooperation with shipping companies and shipyards.”
