Marine engineering and propulsion specialist Royston has installed an electronic fuel management system onboard a new offshore surfer crew boat, which will be operated by Norfin Offshore Group to support its marine and offshore operations in Nigeria.
Royston delivered an "enginei" system, featuring onboard HMIs (human-machine interface) and a remote web management portal for the Singapore-built vessel.
Following the installation of similar systems on its 120T BP AHTS and 35m fast crew boat, Norfin Offshore has continued to invest in enginei technology to meet its requirements for cost-effective, regionally supported electronic fuel management systems, which help to improve fleet operations, Royston said.

Per Royston, this latest installation takes the number of vessels deploying "engine" to more than 300 plus in over 14 countries, including OSVs such as anchor handlers, jack-ups, PSVs, and crew boats, operating in the UK, Europe, Asia, North Africa, West Africa, North and South America and the Middle East.
Royston's enginei uses Coriolis flowmeters and sensors to monitor the fuel being consumed by a vessel’s engine. This, Royston says, provides the ability to acquire comprehensive real-time engine and vessel performance measurements beyond the usual RPM, GPS and fuel inputs to take in a wide range of other engine control unit outputs.
The data is displayed live through a touch screen bridge display. Information is also transmitted remotely to the enginei web portal where the interface enables the production of online reports and trending graphs, as well as providing alerts and map dashboard tracking with weather overlays, showing a detailed operational profile for a vessel.
