FIRST BIMS INSTALLATION

摘要

The first Intelligent Monitoring System (BIMS), produced by Hamburg's Becker Marine Systems, was installed on the new car carrier Titania of Wilh Wilhelmsen at the end of February 2012. BIMS is an innovative development to enhance capabilities of high-performance manoeuvring. The new system is monitoring current forces and torque on the rudder while processing and storing the data in a computer unit. The unit can be integrated via standard interfaces into a vessels' network to make current and processed rudder data available to any system also connected to the network. BIMS provides an additional input to improve or refine navigation, positioning, performance control and load monitoring.
