Royston today said that, in response to growing global demand for advanced technology marine fuel monitoring systems, the company has expanded its enginei support team.

"With vessel performance measurement, reporting and verification issues very much at the top of the marine agenda, our advanced enginei fuel management system is attracting considerable global interest," said Damian McCann, product manager for enginei fuel management systems.

"The expansion of our team will ensure that we can both respond effectively to current demand and also continue to develop and enhance the enginei system capability to meet the constantly evolving needs of the international marine sector."

The move is noted to come following the recent installation of more than 30 new enginei fuel optimisation systems in Nigeria, primarily in offshore support vessels (OSVs) and pilot boats.

The increased demand for OSVs is attributable to growing international oil majors' requirements for contracted vessels have accurate onboard fuel monitoring data systems installed, explains Royston, noting that more than 80 enginei installations have been completed in Nigeria over the past couple years.

As Ship & Bunker has previously reported, the system has been said to allow for careful monitoring of fuel consumption and has helped to identify and address fuel security and pilferage issues.

"The specialist team now brings together marine, mechanical engineering, data analysis and software development experts," said Royston.

"A local sales unit has also been established, and the company has also expanded its system build, test, installation and commissioning capabilities, as well as the technical support available to customers."
