Marine Solutions: Merchant Ships

Our highly available solution controls and supervises the main systems of the ship by providing: alarm and power management; auxiliaries and fluid management for main engine cooling; lubrication circuits, ballast, compressed air, fuel & oil, fire-fighting pumps and fresh water management. 

Supervision is carried out at bridge level by a SCADA system based on redundant Vijeo Citect and Magelis touch panels. 

This solution maximises ship reliability and crew efficiency. For higher availability and faster response times, the compact and hardened PLC achieves an efficient and optimised Power Management System (PMS) for generators allowing 20% energy saving. Redundant SCADA servers and PLCs offer 100% availability at first fault.

EcoStruxure Power is a scalable offer enabling full monitoring of ship electrical consumption, based on 3 pillars: 

1) Measure
Rely on a complete range of power meters, MV protection relays and connected circuit breakers to measure electrical parameters at every stage of the electrical installation.

2) Collect
Using the new Enerlin'X communication system, log data from metering devices and make them available either locally or remotely. 

3) Display and analyse
Display measurements and dashboards locally, in real time. Ecostruxure Power monitoring expert provides advanced software and tools to analyse and optimise energy consumption.

A leading expert in electrical energy efficiency, Schneider Electric designs, develops and manufactures more than 90% of related devices in use worldwide. 

Our electrical distribution solutions perfectly integrate with existing onboard electrical networks, and work with connected devices to integrate onboard control, alarming, monitoring and energy management systems. 

Features include Intelligent VSD control via PLC and HMI to reduce the speed of fans and pumps while maintaining the ship’s safe operation, based on scenarios including seagoing, maneuvering in port or out, cargo handling, and anchoring.

Our uninterruptible power supply (UPS) units are designed to deliver secure power for the marine industry. 

Our long experience in various sectors enables us to develop a UPS adapted to marine standards, coupled with a full range of services and worldwide coverage.

We provide an innovative, prefabricated electrical distribution solution for transporting and distributing energy. 

The solution consists of bus bars in a protective enclosure, including straight lengths, fittings, devices and accessories. Flexible and compact, this space-saving system installs quickly in place without interrupting power. 

You save on materials, installation, and maintenance costs, while also keeping energy consumption costs low.

As the use of installed power on board increases permanently, electrical distribution can require a shift from low voltage to medium voltage design. Schneider Electric provides a unique solution to meet switchboard performance (thermal and electrodynamic withstand). 

The Masterpact UR ultra rapid bus tie allows much higher installed power with a low voltage design by strongly limiting the very high short circuit current and related energy faults.

Motorpact is designed and manufactured to solve the toughest power and process control challenges. 

Our motor starter features industry-first innovations that provide unmatched performance, reliability, and exclusive technologies.

Schneider Electric specialises in harmonic mitigation, offering a broad range of solutions for every demand. 

AccuSine PCS+ is a flexible, high performance, cost-effective solution for stabilising electrical networks by providing harmonic mitigation, power factor correction and load balancing.

The EcoStruxure™ architecture and solutions transform data into benefits. From anywhere in the world, your ship is connected to our platform and experts from Service Bureau Team. Thanks to EcoStruxure Asset Advisor platform, we leverage key data from your critical electrical equipment on board to provide actionable recommendations. 

We pro-actively send you notifications for information and recommendations for action (work orders). We support you remotely during operations or we manage the onboard intervention of our field service engineers worldwide. 

We provide reports in three categories, including an automated report of raw data executed by our platform, event reports of corrective or preventive actions, and periodic summary reports assessing condition and tips for optimisation.
