WHAT IS AN

ALARM, MONITORING AND CONTROL SYSTEM (AMCS)

A Vessel Alarm Monitoring and Control System (AMCS) is essentially the "central nervous system" of a ship. It integrates various hardware and software components to monitor the ship’s health and provide the crew with real-time data to manage the vessel safely and efficiently.

HOW IT WORKS

The system acts as a bridge between the vessel's machinery and the operators. It continuously collects data from the engine room, fuel tanks, electrical systems, and safety equipment. This data is then processed and displayed on high-resolution touchscreens (such as the Böning AHD series), allowing for instant monitoring and precise control.

CORE FUNCTIONS

Real-Time Monitoring: Tracks critical parameters such as engine RPM, temperatures, oil pressures, and tank levels (fuel, water, waste) in real-time.
Intelligent Alarming: Instantly alerts the crew to irregularities—ranging from bilge levels and fire hazards to machinery faults—using both visual displays and audible signals.
Integrated Control: Beyond just watching, the system allows for the active control of ship systems, including navigation lights, pumps, wipers, and engine start/stop functions.
Data Logging & Diagnostics: Records historical data to help engineers identify trends, perform predictive maintenance, and comply with international maritime regulations.

IMPORTANCE OF THE ALARM AND MONITORING SYSTEM

In the demanding maritime environment, human error and mechanical failure are the greatest risks. An advanced AMCS from Böning mitigates these risks by:

Enhancing Safety: Early detection of leaks or overheating can prevent catastrophic failures and protect the lives of everyone on board.
Operational Efficiency: Automating routine tasks and optimizing power management reduces fuel consumption and wear on machinery.
Simplifying Complex Systems: Even on the most complex superyachts or workboats, a well-designed AMCS makes sophisticated technology easy to manage through user-friendly, customizable dashboards.

VESSELS WITH

ALARM, MONITORING AND CONTROL SYSTEMS

LUXURY YACHTS AND SUPER YACHTS

In the world of yachting, comfort and aesthetics must meet absolute reliability. AMCS is used to:

Centralize Control: Manage HVAC, lighting, and security alongside engine data.

Silent Monitoring: Ensure the owner and guests are never disturbed by mechanical issues, as the system alerts the crew silently via pagers or mobile devices.

Sleek Integration: Replace bulky gauges with high-end glass bridge displays that match the vessel's luxury interior.

PASSENGER VESSELS, FERRIES, FISHING AND EXPEDITION VESSELS

Safety is the highest priority when carrying passengers. AMCS provides:

Fire & Safety Integration: Immediate visual mapping of fire sensors and bilge alarms across multiple decks.

Stability Monitoring: Real-time data on ballast tanks and vessel trim to ensure a safe and smooth journey.

For ships operating in remote locations, the AMCS acts as a digital engineer.

Cold Storage Monitoring: Ensures catch quality by tracking refrigeration system temperatures.

Remote Connectivity: Allows shore-side managers to monitor the fleet's technical status via cloud-based platforms like B⋮CONNECT.

COMMERCIAL WORKBOATS AND TUGBOATS

For vessels that operate 24/7 in high-stress environments, an AMCS is a critical tool for the engineering team.

Compliance: Meets USCG Subchapter M and other class requirements (DNV, ABS, Lloyd’s).
Efficiency: Monitors fuel consumption and engine health to reduce overhead and prevent costly downtime.

Redundancy: Heavy-duty hardware designed to withstand constant vibration and extreme temperatures.
