New detection system
PSM has designed and developed its FuelWatch system as a low cost solution for the detection and remote reporting of unauthorised
bunker fuel and lubricant oil discharge removal from storage cargo and service tanks on offshore and river fuel distribution
vessels. FuelWatch can measure all cargo tanks simultaneously with high accuracy and long term reliability. Detection and
remote reporting have proven to be a powerful deterrent to the theft of valuable cargo fuel by crew members. FuelWatch system
uses a level transmitter in each tank to continuously monitor the contents. The level reading is recorded by a central monitor
unit that is cross referenced by time and vessel location obtained from the GPS system.
