SeaTechnik is a world leading independent UK specialist company, developing and manufacturing specialised measurement, communications and safety systems for ships and other marine installations. SeaTechnik was formed in 1999 by engineers who had been developing marine electronic systems since the mid 1980's. The pioneering Ship Performance Optimisation System controlling propulsion for ferries on fixed routes had saved operators 6-10% annually on the cost of fuel.

SeaTechnik now provide electronic systems to all sectors of the marine industry and specialise in systems required by the rapidly developing liquid gas transportation industry. SeaTechnik are acknowledged worldwide as experts in the provision of Ship-Shore links (SSL), which incorporate Emergency Shutdown and telephone/data communications between LNG/LPG ships, and shore installations. Complying with the stringent safety requirements for berthing at export/import terminals and SIGTTO guidelines, these systems rationalise the various connectors and communication protocols in a single product assuring operators of worldwide compatibility.

Compatibility between existing connectors and systems has been proven in several independent tests. SSLs have been supplied to a very large number of LNG terminals and LNGC's in service. To suit the needs of the customer, SSLs include additional sub-systems such as the Mooring Load Monitoring System (MLM). The onboard system displays the data transmitted from the shore monitoring system. Additional subsystems include the special radio communications systems used at various terminals. SeaTechnik designed adapter's, enable connection between different types of Ship-Shore Link systems. Our range of test equipment allows full functional testing of systems to be implemented prior to vessel berthing. The test equipment is fully compatible with other SSL manufacturers. Due to our wealth of knowledge and experience, SeaTechnik are also able to provide valuable consultancy services to the industry in the area of SSL compatibility.

SeaTechnik have delivered over a hundred Precision Draught Monitor Systems to various customers worldwide. Each system was designed with flexibility in mind, thus ensuring several measurement points and different configurations, to suit special customer needs from Ferry/RoRo applications to coastal cement carriers and floating installations. SeaTechnik 's new TSX-4 range of Shaft Power Meters are providing power and thrust data on a wide range of ships. These advanced digital instruments are suitable for the full range of propellers employed on board ships. They are designed for ease of installation and setting up, with advanced diagnostics and displays and are probably the most accurate instruments in the industry. Portable versions of these instruments are used in sea trials by shipyards and consultants.

SeaTechnik has designed and delivered several Ship Performance Monitor Systems. On LNG gas carriers, an on-line Energy-Heat-Balance module now provides steam plant and whole ship fuel optimising within the standard Ship Performance Monitor System. This enables the engineers on board to pinpoint inefficiencies in propulsion steam plant and allows plant to be easily returned to peak performance.
