  Workshop
• Electronics Inspections & Repair Workshop
• Hydraulic Test Laboratory Department
  Machine Shop

These divisions are staffed with certified technicians of various specialties such as Electricians, Automation Programmers, Automation Technicians, Machinists, Hydraulic-Pneumatic Technicians as well as BEng Electrical Engineers – Mechanical Engineers (supervisors/foremen).

Procurement Department: The primary responsibility of this department is to provide support with spare parts and materials required for the implementation of technical projects undertaken by the company. To ensure smooth operation, the department is staffed with specialized personnel with extensive experience in identifying and sourcing spare parts (electrical, mechanical, etc.). Additionally, through strategic partnerships
with well-known manufacturers of spare parts, the department ensures timely procurement accompanied by the necessary certifications (Marine Type Approval, Asbestos Free, etc.).

Sales department: This department collaborates closely with our marketing team to create longterm business relationship with our customers and effectively communicate the value of our products and services. Our online shop/catalogue further enhances accessibility and convenience by ensuring a smooth shopping experience.

Moreover, the department has undertaken the promotion and sales of the below vessels’ control / operation / monitoring systems developed by our Company which bear the trade mark “Electropneumatic Professional NAVTECH”:

• Alarm Monitoring System (AMS)
• Fuel Consumption Measuring System (FCMS)
• Navigation Lights Control & Operation System
  (NLCOS)
• Maneuvering Control & Operation System
  (MCOS)
• Steering Gear Control & Operation System
  (SGCOS)
• Ship Viewer Platform (SVP)
• Bunker Fuel Metering System (BFMS)

Electropneumatic Professional NAVTEC Systems, are designed and constructed to meet the applicable Rules of the major Maritime Classification Societies (DNV-GL / Lloyds Register / ABS /Bureau Veritas, etc.), and can be configured based on customers’ requirements and vessels’ particulars. A brief description follows:

Alarm Monitoring System (AMS) is a trustworthy Marine Technology, developed to continuously monitor, supervise and display the operational parameters and alarms of the vessel’s main and auxiliary systems. It
is a Programmable Electronic System (PES)/Computer-Based System (CBS), which presents the real-time operational status of the connected systems, such as Main Engines, Diesel Generators, Steering Gear System, Fuel or Cargo Tank Level System, etc. (System Categories I, II or III, as they are defined in IACS E22. Rev.3).

Fuel Consumption Measuring System (FCMS) is a trustworthy Marine Technology developed to measuring fuel mass flow, temperature and density utilising Coriolis Flow meter technology, ensuring accurate detection of abnormalities in fuel supply to prevent unnecessary costs for operators. It is a Programmable Electronic System (PES) suitable to measure the fuel mass flow on both supply and return line of the respective consumer providing real-time data.

Navigation Lights Control & Operation System (NLCOS) is a trustworthy Marine Technology developed for controlling /switching on-off the vessel’s Marine lights (i.e., NUC lights and RAM lights) while presenting an automatic visual and audible warning in the event of a Marine light’s failure. It is a Programmable Electronic System (PES) suitable to be used in all types of ships (Tugboat, Container ships, Tankers, Passenger ships, Yachts, Double Ended Ferryboats etc.) over 12 meters long. The system’s module is configured in accordance with the customer’ s needs as well as vessel’ s type & length.

Manoeuvring Control & Operation System (MCOS) is a trustworthy Marine Technology developed for the remote control of Vessel’s Propulsion Diesel Engines which are connected through the main axis the propulsion shaft with fixed pitch propeller (FPP) or with controllable pitch propeller (CPP). It is a Programmable Electronic System (PES)/Computer Based System (CBS) suitable for manoeuvring vessels with a single or twin propulsion line – propellers and it is compatible with the most renowned Low, Medium and HighSpeed Marine Internal Combustion Engines. The system’s modules are configured in accordance with the customer’s needs and the remote propulsion maneuvering stations can be located in the center of the bridge, on the bridge wings, on the top bridge deck (for luxury yachts) and in Engine Control Room (ECR).

Steering Gear Control & Operation System (SGCOS) is a trustworthy Marine Technology developed for transmitting orders from the vessel’s Marine bridge to the steering gear power actuating system. It is a Programmable Electronic System (PES)/Computer-Based System (CBS) suitable for steering single or dual-rudder vessels which is compatible with the most power actuating steering systems (solenoid operated valves, frequency-controlled pumps/motor). The positions for handling the Steering Control & Operation System can be located in the center of the forward bridge, on the bridge wings, on the top bridge deck (for luxury yachts) and locally in the steering gear room.

Ship Viewer Platform (SVP) is a trustworthy Marine Technology developed to provides for ship’s operators and managers remotely, real-time, online, digital and visual ship intelligent monitoring and management technical – operated data which help them for the evaluation of vessel’s operational performance. It is a Programmable Electronic System (PES)/Computer-Based System (CBS) based on IoT technologies in order for transferring data, without human intervention, via the on board existing communication infrastructure to a shore based secure cloud server.

Fuel Bunkering Measuring System (FBMS) is a trustworthy Marine Technology developed to measuring the fuel mass flow during the Bunkering Operation utilizes Coriolis flow meters. It is a Programmable Electronic System (PES) suitable to measure all types of Marine Fuels (FO, HFO, IFO, MGO, e.t.c). After the completion of the Bunkering procedure a delivery note (BDN) will be produced by the system which will record the total amount of the delivered fuel in Tons as well as its viscosity and temperature.
