Marine auxiliary
Auxiliary generating sets and harbour-duty engines aboard vessels.
The problem
A vessel’s auxiliary sets run at berth and under way, in a confined engine room with its own exhaust routing and its own safety rules. The operator faces port air-quality regimes and has almost no room to alter the engine.
Engine envelope
- Fuels
- Marine diesel auxiliary sets.
- Power band
- Auxiliary sets by survey; not main propulsion.
- Duty cycle
- Harbour duty, at-berth, and auxiliary running under way.
- Not in envelope
- Not main propulsion engines, not steam plant, and nothing that would compromise the vessel’s class or its exhaust safety case.
What a survey includes
- A survey aboard, subject to the vessel’s own safety and access rules.
- The auxiliary set make, model, rating, and exhaust routing.
- The class and survey constraints that bound any modification.
- How and when a set can be taken offline in service.
How we measure
We do not quote a figure before we have seen your engine. We measure your engine before and after fitting, under a protocol agreed with you, on your fuel and your load — and we give you those measurements.
