The challenge:"The challenge was to find a way to analyse the different types of oils onboard in a quick, easy and relative simple way in order to be able to act as quickly as possible in cases were the oil analysis results showed any irregularities". As A.P. Moller – Maersk were on the look-out for solid testing grounds for their idea of developing a new tool for Condition Based Monitoring; one that would both optimize the oil consumption onboard the vessels, as well as reduce the engine wear and tear, MS Sine Maersk became an apparent candidate.

The solution:The SEA-Mate® Elemental Analyzer offers on-the-spot condition based monitoring and has been able to provide the crew onboard Sine Maersk with an intelligent and easy method of constant awareness as to the health status of the engine and machinery.
The implementation:"The SEA-Mate® XRF Analyzer came onboard approximately 2 years ago and was followed up with a service engineer who familiarized and trained the engine crew in the use of the Analyzer. The Analyzer has proven to be very easy to use during the daily work onboard".
The results:What are the main benefits of having the instrument onboard the vessel? "The main benefits of having the SEA-Mate® Elemental Analyzer onboard have been numerous so far:
