Kaminco completes the Largest SF-Control retrofit for MV Century
January 2007
Kaminco has successfully completed the largest retrofit semi-turnkey installation in SF-Control's history. As a vendor of Celebrity Cruises Kaminco supplied and managed the retrofit of SF-Control LevelDatic on board this vessel. No less than 14 LevelDatic 100S cabinets have been installed onboard the Celebrity Cruises' MV CENTURY . A total of 125 tanks with remote level gauging, void spaces with remote water ingress detection and remote draft measuring are now continuously monitored on-line by the automation system and Onboard Napa loading computer .
The first contact from the shipowner was received in early February 2006 requesting a quotation for a complete LevelDatic 100S retrofit installation replacing fully the original system by another maker. The decisive meeting was held at our old offices at 57 Akti Miaouli, where Celebrity delegates and Mr Peter Kohler of SF-Control were also present.
According to the shipowner, they have very good experience of LevelDatic 100S which is fitted on their four cruise ships built by Chantiers de l'Atlantique. There has not been a single claim or a spare sensor ever delivered to any of these ships. The order was given to Kaminco as a direct result of the long and successful co-operation between the two companies
A meeting attended by Mr Sotirios Kaminis with the shipowner was held in Miami, where it was agreed that SF-Control should carry out a survey onboard to assess the best possible solution for installation of cabinets by fire zone and for the piping.
Kaminco managed this project successfully working closely with SF-Control personnel and was congratulated in writing by the shipowner who in returned confirmed to Kaminco additional
inquiries
for SF-Control LevelDatic systems for MV MERCURY and MV GALAXY .
