Ballast and bilge pump monitoring
Ballast/bilge pumps: Artesis e-MCM, SDT — cavitation, bearings, standby readiness. KEG TRK.
Ballast and bilge pumps
Ballast/bilge pumps rarely run continuously but must start when the voyage demands it. Bearing and seal wear between starts is silent until discharge fails at berth or in weather.
Between starts: ultrasound on bearings, Artesis current on test runs, seal/cavitation checks, SCOUT vibration on critical loops. Monthly SDT rounds + instrumented test starts beat a logbook status alone.
