Draught Measurement System

Draught Measurement System in Doha – Precision Monitoring for Marine and Industrial Vessels The Draught Measurement System, available at Bushtorm in Qatar, provides precise real-time measurements of a vessel’s draft, trim, and list. Using robust pressure or ultrasonic sensors and a marine-grade controller, the system delivers continuous level data from forward, aft, and midship points. Designed for cargo vessels, tankers, OSVs, and naval craft, this solution improves loading accuracy, hull stress monitoring, and fuel efficiency while supporting port and class compliance. What is a Draught Measurement System? A Draught Measurement System (often called a draft monitoring system) measures the immersed depth of a ship’s hull at designated locations. It converts hydrostatic pressure or distance readings into draft values, then calculates trim, list, and displacement. In Qatar’s ports and offshore fields, reliable draft data helps operators optimize loading, avoid over-draft, and speed up port calls with verified readings. Key Features Real-Time Draft, Trim & List – Instant values at bow, stern, and midship High-Accuracy Sensors – Hydrostatic or ultrasonic sensors with temperature compensation Auto Density & Tide Adjustments – Corrects for seawater density and tidal variance Robust Marine HMI – Bright bridge display with trend graphs and alarms Data Logging – Voyage, event, and time-stamped records for audit and reporting Open Integration – Interfaces with VDR, AMS/IAS, cargo control, and ECDIS Alarm & Limits – Over-draft, excessive trim/list, and sensor fault alerts Class-Ready Hardware – Shock, vibration, and EMC-tested for marine use Technical Specifications Specification Details Product Name Draught Measurement Systems Sensing Method Hydrostatic pressure transmitters or ultrasonic transducers Accuracy ±0.01–0.05 m (application dependent) Measured Points 2–6 (Fwd, Aft, Midship; optional wing tanks) Outputs Draft, Trim, List, Displacement, GM* (calculated) Interface 4–20 mA / Modbus RTU/TCP / NMEA 0183 / CANbus HMI 7–15″ marine display; bridge & engine-room repeaters Power Supply 24 VDC (typ.), optional 110/230 VAC PSU Enclosures IP65–IP67, marine-grade SS/Al housing Operating Temp. −20°C to 70°C Approvals DNV/ABS/LR type-approved components (model dependent) Certifications, Standards & Compliance The Bushtorm Draught Measurement Systems are engineered and manufactured according to marine and international measurement standards, ensuring accuracy, reliability, and global acceptance.
