About Chris-Marine’s Shaftpower Limitation System
To help customers comply with EEXI requirements, Chris-Marine has developed Chris-Marine ShaPoLi, a Shaft Power Limitation solution that will enable existing ships to meet the minimal energy efficiency level to comply with the upcoming regulations. Operating a system beyond the optimal shaft power limit can lead to inefficient fuel consumption, excessive wear and tear on components, thus resulting in increased operational costs. Limiting shaft power ensures that the system operates at peak efficiency and extends the lifespan of the equipment. Shaft power limitation prevents over exploitation of engine resources.
What does the system do?
Chris-Marine’s system measures the actual power and limits it at the maximum allowed to meet the ship’s required EEXI. The system has been designed according to the guidance of major classification societies and the approval process is ongoing.
ShaPoLi system: override function
To ensure safety at sea, the system is overridable in case of an emergency and overrides are automatically logged and easily audited by the relevant authorities through our SPEAT display on the bridge.
