Ship classification isn’t just just another administrative burden; the marine industry place a large reliance on the official validation that a vessel and its key components meet regulatory, technical, safety and environmental requirements. This article explains the background of ship classification and the importance of sourcing type approved components for compliance, using our area of expertise as an example - pumps.
In response to the demand for cost savings and energy efficiency within the industry, Azcue have developed the new Eco-Energy sea water cooling system. The Eco-Energy system uses frequency converters to control the speed of the pump to meet actual operating requirements rather than the worst possible conditions. This enables energy cost savings of up to 80%, with a typical payback period if just one year. Please view the datasheet for more information.
