FOBAS broadens service with FOBAS Engine

08/02/2010

FOBAS Engine is a performance monitoring service, delivering extended fuel and lubricant telemetry regarding engine performance to ships’ crews and operators.

Lloyd’s Register’s marine fuel and engine performance consultancy, FOBAS, has launched a new service, FOBAS Engine. 

FOBAS Engine is a performance monitoring service, delivering extended fuel and lubricant telemetry regarding engine performance to ships’ crews and operators. The FOBAS Engine service aims to give ships in its programme a detailed indication of what is happening within large marine diesel two-stroke engines and, importantly, FOBAS will then provide practical guidance when any deteriorating engine conditions are encountered enabling action to be taken before damage is caused.

FOBAS Engine represents a ’low risk’ investment for the ship owner as it is formed by the fusion of expertise from proven FOBAS technologies and the data analysis engine from Flame Marine. This creates a significant extension of capability, adding value and offering true independence and support in engine management.

The benefits of FOBAS Engine include reduced maintenance costs, diminished potential engine downtime and reductions in cylinder oil feed rate. As the shipping industry continues to seek improved engine performance, this new service helps enhance operators’ ability to operate efficiently – reducing both costs and emissions.
