This solution is designed for marine cargo ships, bulk carriers, and loading/unloading operations, including:
Medium: bulk cargo, grain, coal, ore, liquids, ballast water
Environment:
- Ship cargo holds (closed / semi-closed compartments)
- High humidity, vibration, and corrosive marine environment
- Dynamic loading and unloading conditions at ports
- Power-limited onboard systems (optional solar / ship power supply)
Requires real-time monitoring under harsh marine conditions
During cargo loading and unloading operations, ship operators face critical issues:
- No real-time visibility of cargo level inside holds
- Uneven material distribution leads to instability risks
- Overloading or overflow during unloading operations
- Manual inspection is dangerous and inefficient
- Water ingress / ballast imbalance not detected in time
- Lack of automated control during loading/unloading process
👉 These issues can cause safety risks, cargo loss, and operational delays
We provide a non-contact radar level monitoring and control system for ship cargo holds.
- Non-contact measurement from top of cargo hold
- Real-time detection of cargo height and distribution
- Works in dust, vapor, and humid marine environments
- Stable under ship vibration conditions
- Monitors water level inside ballast tanks or flooded areas
- Ensures ship stability during operation
- Collects data from radar level sensors
- Integrates cargo + water level information
- Triggers automated control logic
Example:
- Reaches preset level → automatically triggers unloading or drainage system
- Radar level sensors installed on top structure of cargo hold
- Water level sensors installed in:
- ballast tanks
- bilge systems
- auxiliary water compartments
- RTU control unit installed in ship control room cabinet
Designed for retrofit on existing vessels without structural modification
After deployment, ship operators achieve:
- Real-time visibility of cargo loading/unloading status
- Improved safety during bulk cargo handling
- Reduced risk of overloading and structural imbalance
- Automated unloading and drainage control
- Lower dependence on manual inspection
- Improved operational efficiency at ports
Ensures safer and more efficient marine logistics operations
This solution includes:
- Radar level transmitter (cargo hold monitoring)
- Radar water level sensor (ballast / flooding detection)
- RTU intelligent control terminal
- Wireless / 4G / ship network communication module
- Marine-grade power supply system
Compared with float or contact sensors:
- No mechanical parts → no failure from vibration
- Non-contact → no damage from dust or bulk cargo
- Stable in humid, salty marine environments
- Works in real-time dynamic loading conditions
Ideal for marine safety-critical monitoring systems
We provide:
- Ship-specific installation design
- Cargo hold sensor layout planning
- Integration with ship control systems
