All Cargo and Cruise Vessels above 400GT (falling under MARPOL Annex VI) which are engaged in the international voyages should comply with EEXI standards. Ship Owners should submit to the classification for review and approval the EEXI Technical File that will comprise the calculations of the attained EEXI level that should be below the required EEXI standards. EEXI Technical File must be approved and IEEC International Energy Efficiency Certificate should be re-issued by the ship’s flag administration or recognized Organization at the 1st annual survey after January 2023.
SHaPoLi Shaft Power Limitation is presently one of the unique class-approved fully “automatic control type SHaPoLi” in the market
which dynamically controls the ship’s Main Engine speed in real-time to achieve the power limitation requirements. The system demonstrates universal applicability in terms of interfacing, and it is designed for integration with any combination of Main Engine model, engine and governor controls, and any shaft power/torque meter models commercially available.
SHaPoLi Shaft Power Limitation is transparently interfaced with the Wheelhouse and Engine Control Room speed control levers and telegraph transmitters of the Main Engine, and the Main Engine Governor.
The system constantly monitors in real-time the actual power output of the engine through the shaft power meter. When the engine’s power output approaches the designated fixed EEXI power limiting setpoint, the SELMA SHaPoLi controller automatically takes over and regulates the speed command to the engine according to its advanced and intelligent process control algorithm.
