Honeywell Marine takes on FuelTrax


Honeywell becomes an official distributor of the FuelTrax marine fuel management system.



Nautical Control Solutions (NCS) has announced that France-based Honeywell Marine Solutions has become an official distributor of its FuelTrax marine fuel management system.

“The growing demand for accurate fuel monitoring and accounting prompted us to search for an industry leading solution to add to our portfolio”, said Philippe Despagne, Managing Director, Honeywell Marine.

“The FuelTrax system uses advanced software, coupled with marine hardened electronics to provide a safe, reliable, and efficient platform for accurately measuring fuel usage during vessel operations and relaying key performance indicators to on-shore personnel. FuelTrax is an excellent addition to our existing tank management systems and will provide significant benefits to our customers.” Despagne added.

“We are very pleased to announce this new agreement with Honeywell,” said Anthony George, President of NCS. “Their marine products are well known throughout the industry and their reputation for quality field support services is important to us for maintaining high levels of customer satisfaction. Our products complement each other well and the increased sales and services resources they provide support us in our continued growth worldwide. This combination provides a world-class solution at a time the industry needs every advantage it can get.”
