The optimal floating position makes the difference
Precise draught measurement, even while underway and taking hydrodynamic effects into account
This system opens up the possibility of optimising trim and accurately determining a vessel’s floating position. Thus, emission savings and safety aspects can be realised
Measuring Solutions
Dynamic Draught and Floating Monitoring
Our Dynamic Draught and Floating Monitoring Solution (DDFM) continuously monitors the ship‘s draught by combining draught and motion sensors. Pressure transmitters measure the hydrostatic draught, one each located at bow, stern, mid ship port and mid ship starboard. With our inertial measuring system (HOSIM2) we compensate any dynamic influence during sailing. This makes the draught measuring system independent of wave effects or wave hammering.
