SHIPMASTER

Retrofits:

Typically older vessels have automation systems based on old technology and spare parts are rapidly becoming scarce and expensive if not obsolete. A system failure can be very costly. Apart from having a modern user interface and advanced system capabilities our system is based on standard PC components giving our customers access to spare parts at very low prices with great availability.

Newbuildings

Kockum Sonics can provide ship owners with total flexibility in choice of gauging systems, valves, pumps, alarms etc. Pick your favorite subsystems and we will integrate them into one solution and a modern platform. Giving you the best system the market can offer that fulfills your needs.

Installation flexibility meeting your needs

Kockum Sonics provides a solution for ship owners who want to have the better of two worlds. Keep the parts of the automation system that has proved itself worthwhile and replace the parts that are not up to scratch. Kockum Sonics has developed and tested SHIPMASTER together with Karismar Marine Systems with more than 30 years of experience in marine automation.
