Sensor technology presentation announced


UK event to launch technology for cylinder oil optimisation and liner wear monitoring.



Kittiwake, a leading global provider of marine and related sector technology solutions has announced that it will be hosting an intimate presentation in London on Tuesday 3rd March 2009 entitled: "Technology for Cylinder Oil Optimisation and Liner Wear Monitoring"

The UK-based company said that it will be providing a short presentation on its recently launched LinerSCAN and ShellANALEXAlert systems followed by a question and answers session.

Kittiwake's LinerSCAN sensors continually monitor the scrapedown oil for ferrous wear debris, providing onboard engineers with actionable and trend-able readings with multiple purposes.

The sensors can detect the very early onset of severe erosion, improve maintenance scheduling, safeguard against down time, optimize lubricant feed rate, decrease sampling and testing costs, minimise liner wear and detect ingress of harmful CAT fines.

"The breadth of applications for this single product is unrivalled, and as the original developer of this technology, Kittiwake would welcome the opportunity to discuss how it could help you to reduce costs and manage risk," the company said in a statement.

"If you operate, own or manage a vessel with a two stroke main engine then attendance at this complimentary event will set you on your way to cost savings, efficiency gains and a decrease in engine failures," Kittiwake added.

Attending the event will be the team behind the LinerSCAN system, including Martin Lucas (Managing Director Kittiwake), Matthias Winklerg (Managing Director Kittiwake GmbH), Thomas Kent (Applications Engineer) & Paul Froome (Marketing Manager).

Event Timings:
08:45 – 09:10 - Registration and refreshments
09:15 – 10:15 - LinerSCAN presentation from Matthias Winkler
10:00 onwards - Breakfast and discussion

The event will be held at The Institute of Marine Engineering, Science and Technology, 80 Coleman Street, London, EC2R 5BJ
