ClearView™ has been developed by PSM to partner the TRITON™ Oily Water Monitoring System of Transas Telematics Ltd, to offer a complete ODME solution to decrease or prevent the probability of a vessel discharging overboard oily water with a parts per million (ppm) content in violation of the current MARPOL regulations, or while in a prohibited area.

 Meeting IMO MEPC 107 (49) and SCG MED requirements may not be sufficient to avoid fines or prosecution.

No matter how carefully controlled OWS systems are, accidents and equipment malfunctions occur.  Incidents of over limit discharge are easily traced by GPS and Satellite imaging, leading to costly fines and vessel exclusions. Recently, these fines for non-habitual occurrences have been set by the courts at several millions of US$ per incident.

ClearView™ and TRITON™ ODME will take the worry out of accidental overboard discharge by overriding the existing OWS plant and all machinery with a real-time monitoring and

fail-safe activation system. For added security a GPS “Geo-Fence” and auto-interlock and divert control ensures no out of limit discharge can occur in protected areas. Real-time data gathered from the ship is securely stored but linked into Ships Communication System for uploading to the central server for viewing by Operators and Authorities as required.

• Provides essential Operator’s proof of correct OWS management

• Proven hardware with functionality accepted by US Coast Guard

• Connects directly to Ships Communication Management System for routine transmission of logged data

• Comprehensive and easy to read graphical display provides ships crew with a complete overview

The Clearview^TM system is designed as a complete and integrated equipment package that is easily and inexpensively tailored to suit each vessel.  Signals are collected from existing sensors in most cases saving unnecessary duplication and cabling. PSM manufactures a full range of Type approved sensors and can provide any additional measurements and alarm initiators if required. The system marshalling enclosure provides all the hardware termination facilities to make installation fast and simple and during a vessels normal turnaround wherever possible.

ClearView^TM provides a clear graphical display of all parameters tailored to suit each Installation.  It provides operators with an immediate overview of all parameters related to oily-water handling and discharge, with immediate warnings of any alarm conditions.

All functions and operations are automatically and securely logged and routinely forwarded to the Transas FleetView Online Server, where they may be reviewed from any location, giving the senior officers the peace of mind that their ship is truly “Clean Compliant”, and essential proof of correct operation.
