Sea Command: a proprietary Seawater Automated Distribution System
Seaward Automation’s proprietary Sea Command system automates the distribution of charged raw water on your vessel, providing seamless control and monitoring of pumps, valves, and filters. Designed to reduce system failures caused by low flow or pressure, Sea Command ensures efficient operation and enhanced performance for vessels of any size. With real-time insights and logic-based automation, this system optimizes water distribution, minimizing downtime and improving reliability.
Key Features and Benefits
Automated RAW Water Movement
Continuous monitoring and control of your vessel’s raw water system automatically maintains proper pressure of seawater flow to accessories such as live wells, tuna tubes, air conditioners, and stabilizing equipment, ensuring balanced operation of all equipment.
Operational Efficiency
By automating your vessel’s raw water system, the risk of seawater starvation due to failed pumps, blinded filters, or low pressure is eliminated, allowing for optimal performance of all seawater-supplied equipment on board.
Ease Of Use
By automating the movement of your vessel’s raw water system, the need for captains and crew to enter engine rooms is eliminated. Turning on seawater valves and pumps can be done underway.
System Operation
Advanced Sensors
Sensors located around your vessel’s raw water system provide real-time feedback, allowing our automated system to ensure proper system pressure is maintained throughout the vessel’s raw water system and alert users of possible equipment failures, such as fouled strainers, clogged coolers, or failing pumps.
Fail-Safe Mechanisms
Automated Controls
Automated control of seawater accessory valves for sport fishing vessels and motor yachts, eliminating the need for below-deck operator entry.
Remote Monitoring
Capability for remote monitoring and control, allowing captains and operators to oversee fuel transfer operations from a distance for added convenience and safety.
Applications
Our proprietary seawater automated distribution systems can be applied to various types of vessels operating charged seawater cooling systems.
Sailing Yachts
pleasure craft
Optimizes raw water distribution onboard, ensuring cooling water is evenly distributed throughout the vessel. Mitigates downtime by monitoring seawater flow and allowing preventative maintenance of seawater handling equipment such as pumps and strainers.
Sport Fishing Vessels
System Design & Implementation
When implementing our proprietary Seawater Automated Distribution Systems, we take the following into consideration:
New Vessel Manufacturers
System implementation and product specification for vessel manufacturers, ensuring seamless integration in new vessel construction.
Retrofit Of Existing Vessels
Tailoring systems to suit specific vessel configurations, such as raw water piping layout, type and number of seawater pumps, type of seawater-cooled equipment onboard as well as required automated directional control valves.
Training
Provide comprehensive training for OEMs and vessel owners on proper automated system operation and maintenance.
