Since 2003, Kassidiaris has installed more than 100 Sitrans LC 300 instruments on bulk carriers. They have proven highly reliable and accurate in detecting water ingress. The instrument is easy to install, and its push-button calibration and integrated local display make it easy to set up. Since Sitrans LC 300 detects level at two preset points, it requires only one unit for each cargo hold. This is a savings, because other technologies require two instruments. more |
