The new cargo vessel Aasvaer (BN776) has been delivered to Aassen Shipping from Norway. The ship is part of a new series of three hybrid methanol vessels built by Royal Bodewes. Its sister ships, Aasvard and Aasland, are expected to follow in the same series. Measuring 120 meters in length, Aasvaer is designed for modern cargo transport with an eye on cleaner and more reliable operations.
For this project, Marble Automation delivered the complete Alarm Monitoring and Control System (AMCS). This custom setup provides a clear and structured overview of all vital onboard functions, built to meet the operational needs of the vessel and the crew.
The system includes a configurable alarm system, allowing the operator to adjust settings to match the vessel’s operating conditions.
It also integrates tank level readings and data visualization from the Wärtsilä main engine, EPMS, and SCR system. All AMCS data is automatically sent to the Alphatron JRC VDR system, ensuring that all essential operational data is stored and available for reporting and review.
In addition, the AMCS includes configurable analog inputs, giving the flexibility to monitor additional signals or sensors whenever required.
The AMCS is also equipped with a UMS system with MS2006 Modbus Extension in every relevant ship location
As part of the safety and control package, the Marble Emergency Telegraph (MS325) has been installed as well, providing a reliable backup communication channel between the bridge and the engine room.
For Marble Automation, projects like this show how our control systems help modern shipbuilding. Our systems give clear alarms, handle data in a reliable way, and connect easily with other equipment. This helps shipyards and crews keep their vessels safe and working well at sea.
