The SIMS also needed to be fit for marine applications, achieving DNV-GL approval in accordance with DNV GL rules for high-speed and light craft.Ĭromarty was awarded the contract to develop a SIMS for Vessel 091, a 111-meter wave-piercing catamaran.
The touchscreens need to provide a common operator interface no matter where on the vessel the operator was located and must have the ability to be expanded as required. The data and control needed to be distributed to touchscreen operator workstations throughout the vessel.

The SIMS needs to manage analog and digital data from a variety of ship’s plant equipment through hardwired signal inputs, switched relay outputs, and serial interfaces. To assist in the development, Incat identified the need for a partner with wide-ranging electrical and automation skills and, importantly, had a local presence to Incat’s operations so the two companies could closely work together to develop a SIMS suitable for use on this vessel - and flexible enough to be implemented on Incat’s upcoming vessels. Incat decided that to get a system that would meet the specific needs of the vessel they would need to develop one themselves. The purpose of the SIMS is to manage data from various inputs and present data in a consistent manner on operator workstations distributed throughout a vessel.ĭue to the unique nature of the vessel design, a bespoke SIMS was required. Ships vary from fast, flexible, and efficient vehicle-passenger ferries to high-speed military support vessels, crew ships, and dynamic platforms.Įach Incat ship requires a Ship Integrated Management System (SIMS).
The purpose of the project was to develop a DNV-GL approved Ship Integrated Management System (SIMS) to manage data from various inputs on the ship and present information in a consistent manner on operator workstations distributed throughout the vessel.Īustralian shipbuilder Incat, based in Hobart, Tasmania, designs and builds high-speed lightweight catamarans which are supplied globally.
