MARINE SCOTLAND: USING A TEMPORARY SHAFT POWER MEASUREMENT SYSTEM TO COMPLY WITH LATEST REGULATIONS None of the Earth’s resources are infinite. For centuries, people have fished to feed their families, and today we are at the point where the population of the fish stock needs to be actively managed to prevent further depletion. marine Scotland The only way to manage the reduction and possible decay of many fish species, is to develop and follow sustainable fishing policies, while offering stable economic and social conditions for those involved in the fishing industry. More and more...

MARINE SCOTLAND: USING A TEMPORARY SHAFT POWER MEASUREMENT SYSTEM TO COMPLY WITH LATEST REGULATIONS THE CLIENT Scotland is amongst the largest sea fishing nations in Europe with Scottish fishing vessels landing around two-thirds of the total fish caught in the United Kingdom. Our client, Marine Scotland, is responsible for monitoring and controlling the activities of all fishing vessels operating within Scottish waters as well as the activities of Scottish vessels wherever they may fish, and their fishing capacity, defined in terms of tonnage and engine power of the actual fishing vessels. Under...

MARINE SCOTLAND: USING A TEMPORARY SHAFT POWER MEASUREMENT SYSTEM TO COMPLY WITH LATEST REGULATIONS THE CHALLENGE As part of the three stage inspection process, a visit is arranged to each of the chosen vessels to inspect the engine installation and carry out testing of engine power of a fishing vessel and is performed using temporary measurement equipment that is not usually included on-board of the vessel. Collecting the data and taking it ashore for analysis is also useful, so what Marine Scotland really required was a temporary and relatively inexpensive system that can be easily...

MARINE SCOTLAND: USING A TEMPORARY SHAFT POWER MEASUREMENT SYSTEM TO COMPLY WITH LATEST REGULATIONS THE SOLUTION Unlike the competition, the SPMK system from Datum Electronics is easily temporarily installed and able to meet the requirements and demands of working in a marine environment. It’s portable and can be installed on site with minimal skills in a few simple steps in less than an hour (support and documentation is also available and provided by Datum Electronics). The hardware has been designed to be re-used for multiple tests on a range of shaft sizes, giving Marine Scotland the...

MARINE SCOTLAND: USING A TEMPORARY SHAFT POWER MEASUREMENT SYSTEM TO COMPLY WITH LATEST REGULATIONS THE IMPACT I would recommend Datum Electronics as they have experience in working with several European member states involving fishing vessel engine power measurement. Datum Electronics was the first company Marine Scotland used for this kind of work, and the project turned out to be a major success. The small size of the transmitter unit made it possible to take the system onboard, collect and analyse data on site, resulting in a substantial decrease in the time and costs needed to perform...
