CEMEX newbuild to feature Enginei fuel management system


Vessel is first dredger to be commissioned in 20 years by CEMEX UK Marine.

Ecospeed is designed to help ship operators identify and maintain optimum vessel speeds for efficient fuel usage. Its algorithm is based on speed modelling and an analysis of vessel operating data, correlating and synchronising information from different sensors installed on the vessel.

Royston Diesel Power's advanced Enginei EFMS (electronic fuel management system) has been specified as part of the newbuild programme for the first dredging vessel commissioned in 20 years by CEMEX UK Marine.

The new GBP 30m Damen-built CEMEX Go Innovation is under construction in Galati, Romania, and is due to enter into service in late 2019.

Enginei is to be installed as part of a comprehensive suite of advanced digital marine technologies, designed to offer enhanced long-term operational safety and efficiency performance.

Greater integration of advanced real-time information tools will be expected to contribute to reducing fuel and maintenance costs. Enginei will see the new dredger's crew and operator furnished with detailed real-time engine performance and other mission critical information.

It uses Coriolis flow meters and sensors to accurately monitor the bunker fuel being consumed by each of a vessel's engines, which is tracked against GPS data, voyage details and operational mode.

The data is collected, processed and relayed to bridge and engine room-mounted touchscreen monitors to enable the ship's master to adjust vessel speed and take whatever other actions are needed to reduce fuel consumption.

Damian McCann, Royston's product manager, said the optimisation of fuel use and the minimisation of emissions are critical issues for vessel operators such as CEMEX Marine.

"We are seeing increasing interest in our technology from the marine sector, where vessel operators like CEMEX UK want to achieve measurable operational and cost savings for their new vessels."
