AMOT XTS-W monitors bearings in Russian ships

An AMOT product story
Edited by the Engineeringtalk editorial team Jun 10, 2009

Primorsk Shipping has specified AMOT XTS-W bearing-condition monitors for a fleet of five new tankers and two bulkers built by STX Shipbuilding in Korea.

The XTS-W system increases reliability by providing real-time monitoring of wear in the crank train bearings, giving an early warning of any pending problems and avoiding possible catastrophic bearing damage and the high cost of unplanned repairs.

A key reason for selecting the AMOT system is that it allows the elimination of usual open-out inspections, which Prisco, like many other ship owners and operators, wants to omit to cut costs and downtime.

The tankers are 51,000-ton dead weight and are intended for transporting oil, chemical cargo and agricultural oils.
