MINs Control Systems and Eco Marine Power sign agreement


MINs Control Systems Solution to sell and support Eco Marine Power's renewable energy solutions for shipping in Singapore and Myanmar.



Eco Marine Power (EMP) has today announced that it has entered into a sales and support agreement with MINs Control Systems Solution Pte. Ltd. (MCSS) to sell and support EMP's renewable energy solutions for shipping in Singapore and Myanmar. These solutions include marine solar power systems and the Aquarius Management & Automation System (MAS).

The Aquarius MAS is an alarm handling, performance monitoring and data logging platform suitable for a wide range of ships which can also be integrated with renewable energy solutions.

The Aquarius MAS system architecture is based upon the KEI 3240 Data Logger which is already in use on hundreds of vessels including training ships, tankers and bulk ore carriers.

The Aquarius MAS is also able to monitor and log fuel oil consumption in real time plus calculate Nox, Sox & CO2 emissions.

MCSS key domain expertises include control systems integration, control systems retrofitting & upgrading, control application development, plant safety instrumented systems(SIS) implementation, advanced process control (APC) solution and plant control system performance optimization.

On signing the agreement, Daniel Min, Director of MCSS, stated: "We look forward to working with Eco Marine Power to expand the range of products and services we can offer plus promote their innovative products and solutions for shipping in Singapore and Myanmar."

"MCSS was formed in 2005 in Singapore and the company has worked hard to gain the confidence of customers in order to provide a total solution for plant control systems from the field to the control room," MSCC said.

Initially both companies will cooperate in promoting EMP's technologies to shipyards and shipowners in Singapore and Myanmar with a focus on integrating the Aquarius MAS with marine solar power solutions as a means to reduce fuel consumption on ships and offshore support vessels.
