Scanjet PSM has secured a series of new contracts that highlight the growing demand for our advanced flood detection and tank gauging solutions across diverse vessel types.
Originally developed as an extension of the VPM display family and Connect software for integrated tank gauging, these systems have evolved into highly effective stand-alone solutions. Their flexibility and reliability are now being demonstrated in a wide range of marine applications.
Successful Delivery for Asyad Dry Dock Company
Scanjet PSM recently delivered two fully Type Approved systems to Asyad Dry Dock Company in Oman, supporting the newbuild passenger and vehicle landing craft Jawharat Sur.
Built on the VPM/Connect platform, the systems combine:
- A complete tank gauging solution
- A dedicated flood detection system compliant with SOLAS requirements for passenger vessels
The tank gauging system uses our APT1000 level transmitters operating in digital mode, simplifying installation while significantly reducing cabling requirements.
For flood detection, the system incorporates the BLS9200 submersible switch. This is configured to provide four clear status indications at the central VPM unit: Normal, Alarm, Cable Break, and Cable Short. This approach ensures that any wiring fault is immediately visible, removing the risk of hidden or undetected alarms.
Both systems operate independently and feature Modbus outputs, enabling seamless integration with the vessel’s central monitoring system for real-time status updates and alerts.
New Contract: Flood Detection for Cable Laying Vessel
Further demonstrating the scalability of the VPM platform, Scanjet PSM has also been awarded a contract to supply a flood detection system for a large cable laying vessel.
This project introduces more complex requirements, with the vessel divided into multiple independent flood detection zones. Each zone must operate autonomously and remain unaffected by faults in other areas.
Unlike the point-level detection used in the Asyad project, this system requires continuous level monitoring within each zone. Our solution again utilises the APT1000 transmitter, with more than 60 measurement points distributed across the vessel.
Each zone operates on its own discrete network, feeding into a central acquisition panel. This panel delivers a consolidated system overview and provides a Modbus interface to the vessel’s platform management system.
Driving Innovation Through Adaptability
These latest projects underline Scanjet PSM’s ability to adapt proven technologies to meet evolving regulatory and operational demands. Whether as part of an integrated system or as a stand-alone solution, the VPM display family continues to deliver reliable performance across the marine sector.
