Marex OS

The Marex OS-system is suitable for most ships and propulsions.

It replaces the complex remote controls which until recently had to be custom-made for a specific ship.

The Marex OS features

• modular hardware consisting of few components
• signal and data transmission by CAN-bus
• software and parameter settings permitting to meet various requirements

Advantages:

• Lower design and engineering costs
• Easy commissioning by means of intelligent software
• New methods of error analysis by remote data transmission
• Different types of control heads are available:
  • For single and twin-engine propulsion systems
  • With lever follow-up for systems with multiple control stations
  • With lighted scale (day-/nighttime operation)

Marex OS VBR for Voith-Schneider propellers

Passenger ships and work boats navigate safely with this control. Developed in close cooperation with Voith Turbo, the Marex OS VBR is perfectly suitable for Voith-Schneider propellers, controllable pitch and rudder propellers, new or retrofit.

Advantages:

• System availability at all times ensures extreme safety in operation: A redundancy concept covers all functions from the control stations’ electronics to the hydraulic cylinders and actuator shaft.
• Economic efficiency: Resource-economizing navigation profiles can be defined to save fuel.
• Durability: All components of the drive chain are attuned to each other which reduces the wear of material.
• Certified quality: On request, the system is type-approved by:
  • Germanischer Lloyd
  • Bureau Veritas
  • Det Norske Veritas
  • American Bureau of Shipping
  • Rina
  • LLoyd’s Register
