SKF Blohm and Voss Industries presents an environmental monitoring system that links a ship’s emission values to GPS position data, thereby aiding compliance with the applicable MARPOL regulations.
SKF Blohm + Voss Industries launches the Turbulo BlueMon emission monitoring system, that can record all relevant emissions on board ships in only one system. Additionally, Turbulo BlueMon couple these values with the vessel’s position data, based on GPS signals. This link – a new development on the market – facilitates compliance with existing regulations and makes possible seamless auditing and verification of emissions from ships.
The environmental protection in the maritime shipping sector is defined in six annexes in the International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships (MARPOL 73/78). Turbulo BlueMon can record all ship emissions that are listed with limit values in the respective Annexes.
Sea areas that are subject to other regulations, such as the Vessel General Permit 2013, applicable to US coastal waters, are also stored in the system. Thanks to GPS link, it is clear where and when which emissions are emitted. The data remains available for at least 24 months, thereby allowing retrospective verification that all emission limits were complied with.
The GPS link also supports compliance with the regulations; If a ship heads towards a sea area where specific emission regulations apply, the system delivers a corresponding warning on the bridge. This allows the current emission values to be checked again and adjusted as necessary to meet differing emission limits. Turbulo BlueMon can also control the discharge of bilge water through the system’s own overboard valve in accordance to the limits programmed by the crew.
