Shipbuilding
Anti-heeling system
Ship and Yacht Building
Ship heeling caused by high winds, uneven cargo loading or the forces of sharp turns is counteracted by anti-heeling systems. To counter these conditions, ballast tanks are connected to each other by...
Ballast water tanks
Ship and Yacht Building
The ballast water measurements in the wing and double bottom tanks go directly into the control system for the ship trim, draught and list. Since these measuring points are virtually inaccessible duri...
Bilges
Ship and Yacht Building
Every ship has ‘bilges’ – this is space at the lowest point of the vessel between the floor of the engine room and the bottom of the ship. A water/oil mixture collects in this bilge area, where the mi...
Cargo tank
Ship and Yacht Building
The levels in storage tanks, especially those on board chemical tankers must be continuously measured. This is especially important to monitor during loading and unloading operations, because of stric...
Cargo tank in a bitumen tanker
Ship and Yacht Building
Bitumen is transported at temperatures of around 170 °C to 190 °C. The heating is supplied via an array of multi-layered heating tubes mounted on the floor and sides of the tanks. To ensure efficient...
Cavity tanks
Ship and Yacht Building
To extend the duration of stay at sea, every cubic centimetre of space on navy and research vessels is utilised. All available spaces and any inaccessible places on the ship are used as additional tan...
Crude oil storage tank
Ship and Yacht Building
Crude oil is pumped directly into the cargo tanks on board in order to separate gas, oil and water from each other using gravity. To ensure profitable utilisation of the loading capacities as well as...
HFO settling and service tank
Ship and Yacht Building
To ensure fuel feed to the main engine, heavy fuel oil (HFO) is separated though first being pumped into a settling (buffer) tank. The following service tank or day tank, which is filled via a continu...
Heavy lifter
Ship and Yacht Building
Flo-Flo (Float On/Float Off) ships are characterised by their large number of ballast water tanks. These make it possible to lower the ship until the main deck is below the waterline. This allows larg...
Hopper
Ship and Yacht Building
The hopper contains a mixture of sand, gravel and water. This mixture is collected by one or two suction pipes and drag heads that move over the seabed. The water flows out through so-called overflows...
Hydraulic oil reservoir tank
Ship and Yacht Building
The hydraulic oil used to transmit power circulates in a closed system. However, it is gradually lost due to lubrication points and leakages in the power equipment. To ensure optimum operation of the...
Hydrogen tanker with liquid hydrogen
Ship and Yacht Building
If energy-rich hydrogen has to be transported over long distances, special tanker ships are used. To minimise losses, the hydrogen is cooled down to -253 °C at 1 bar pressure so that it can be stored...
Interface profiler
Ship and Yacht Building
Separation tanks on the deck of an FPSOs contain oil and water as well as other products. Mixing hydrocarbons with water can form an emulsified layer that makes it extremely difficult for operators to...
Manifold
Ship and Yacht Building
Hose connecting stations, also known as manifolds, connect the pipes and hoses that are required for cargo loading and offloading on tankers. To ensure the safety of facilities on shore and on board,...
Pumps in ballast water tanks
Ship and Yacht Building
Ballast water is taken on board seagoing vessels to ensure the stability of the ship when sailing with little or no cargo. The water is stored in ballast water tanks. To monitor the function of the pu...
Service tanks drinking water
Ship and Yacht Building
Drinking water is an essential commodity on a ship. It is stored separately in dedicated tanks. Depending on the type and size of the ship, different amounts of fresh water are required for drinking,...
Service tanks with grey and black water
Ship and Yacht Building
Waste water, known as grey/black water on ships, is treated on board larger vessels using ship-board clarification plants or it may be stored in special grey/black water tanks to await final disposal...
Ship position and draught
Ship and Yacht Building
Among the most important measurements on board ships are those for determining draught, trim and list. In general, one measuring point is placed on the bow and another is used in the aft. On larger sh...
Slop tank
Ship and Yacht Building
Usually a ship has two slop tanks, portside and starboard. This tank contains the water from the cleaning processes on a ship. Especially after sailing the procedure of tank cleaning is processed and...
Wave chamber
Ship and Yacht Building
Container ships can cause enormous damage to the quay if they dock improperly. When a container ship approaches, a giant wave, the so-called "swell", shoots between the columns and floods the chamber....
Cargo tanks on LNG carriers
Ship and Yacht Building
Liquefied gas is transported in insulated cargo tanks on LNG carriers at temperatures of -162 °C. The instrumentation used must be specially designed for these extreme temperatures. Pressure, level an...
Yacht Building
Fresh water and pool water tanks
Ship and Yacht Building
Every yacht has different tanks on board for storing hot water, pool water and drinking water. For drinking water, an especially hygienic measuring system is required.
Fuel tanks
Ship and Yacht Building
The fuel tanks are some of the most important on board. They store a variety of fuels; diesel for the main engine and power generators, petrol for jet skis and dinghies, even aviation fuel for the hel...
Grey water and black water tanks
Ship and Yacht Building
Wastewater accumulated on board is stored in grey or black water tanks up until its final disposal on land. The tanks are equipped with continuous level monitoring as well as point level detection to...
