EDIT ECO 8 ShaPoLi

Why is ShaPoli important? And how do you meet the EEXI requirement?

The EDIT ECO 8 ShaPoLi system is a critical technical solution for shipowners seeking to comply with the IMO 2023 Energy Efficiency Existing Ship Index (EEXI) regulations. It serves as a verified monitoring and recording bridge between operational necessity and environmental accountability.

Certified Shaft Power Limitation (ShaPoLi)

The ECO 8 system provides continuous, high-precision monitoring of shaft power. If the power surpasses the predetermined EEXI Power Limit, the system automatically alerts the bridge and logs the event. This documentation is essential for demonstrating regulatory adherence during PSC (Port State Control) inspections and annual surveys.

Key Advantages for Fleet Operators

The EDIT ECO 8 is designed for rapid integration and operational flexibility:

• Non-Intrusive Installation: The system utilizes "clamp-on" sensing technology, requiring zero modifications to the existing shaft, engine, or machinery.

• Universal Compatibility: Engineered for versatility, the ECO 8 can be retrofitted to any vessel type, regardless of the age or manufacturer of the propulsion plant.

• Automated Reporting: Simplifies EEXI compliance by automating the data logging of fuel usage and emission trends, reducing the administrative burden on the Chief Engineer.

Key Technical Advantages of the ECO 8 ShaPoLi

The ECO 8 provides a high-integrity bridge between real-time performance monitoring and regulatory compliance:

• Integrated Power Monitoring & Recording: Continuous shaft power measurement with an extensive 3-year onboard data logging capacity for audit readiness.

• Safety-First Override Protocol: Features password-protected override functionality with automated event logging, ensuring full engine power is available for emergency maneuvers while remaining IMO-compliant.

• Universal Sensor Integration: Compatible with all major torque meter manufacturers and expandable to include flowmeters, draught sensors, and GPS for a total vessel performance profile.

• Industrial Connectivity: Equipped with Ethernet, RS485, NMEA, and USB ports, plus digital outputs for seamless integration with the Alarm Monitoring System (AMS) and Simplified Voyage Data Recorder (S-VDR).

• Early Warning Systems: Integrated pre-alarm signals alert the bridge before power limits are exceeded, allowing for proactive engine management.

• Multi-Level Security: Each unit features a unique License Key for tiered access control, ensuring data integrity and preventing unauthorized configuration changes.

Operational Workflow: Real-Time Power Management

The EDIT ECO 8 acts as a high-integrity Manual Power Limitation (MPL) system, ensuring the vessel operates within its certified EEXI Technical File parameters.

Data Acquisition & Display

The system processes continuous signals from the shaft torque meter, displaying real-time power, speed, and torque on a high-visibility LCD monitor (3.5” or 5.7”). This provides the bridge team with a centralized "Source of Truth" for propulsion data.

Automated Compliance Alerts

If shaft power exceeds the EEXI threshold, a dual-stage protocol activates:

• Audio-Visual Alarms: Instant notification to the Master and OOW.
• Persistent Status: The visual EEXI indicator remains active until power falls below the limit, ensuring the breach is clearly documented.

Emergency Override Protocol

In accordance with IMO safety guidelines, the Password-Protected Override allows the Master to access full engine power during critical scenarios such as:

• Adverse weather or heavy sea states.
• Security threats (e.g., piracy).
• Search and Rescue (SAR) or Man Overboard (MOB) events.

Every override is automatically timestamped and logged, providing the unalterable evidence required for OMM (Onboard Management Manual) audits and Port State Control inspections.
