Kongsberg has enlarged its range of tank monitoring solutions with the launch of its GL300 system that will give enhanced performance of tank gauging, pressure and temperature monitoring, said Kongsberg.


is also lightweight and easy to install say the Norwegian-based company. Te gauge will offer increased reliability, accuracy and durability over existing tank monitoring systems, which has been made possible through a range of sophisticated new sensors designed by Kongsberg Maritime’s in-house sensor technology unit. “We have been developing radar tank

gauging solutions for over 25 years and have employed our technical expertise and application experience to develop our most accurate, reliable and durable solution to date,” said Børge Hävard Jenssen, project manager for GL300 development at Kongsberg Maritime. “We have had a pilot installation onboard an oil/chemical tanker since September 2008 and reports from the customer are that everything is working perfectly.” Te GL-300 can be fully integrated with


Kongsberg Maritime’s class-leading K-chief automation solution, remote operator station (ROS) and I/O units for other cargo instrumentation form the K-Gauge cargo monitoring and control system. It is a modular system based on the new, highly accurate to 2mm GLA-300 Radar Tank Gauge, GC-300 Cargo Temperature Unit and centrally located for each tank GLK-300 Signal Processing Units. Additionally, a GT-450 pressure sensor

is fully integrated to reduce cabling and simplify installation. The modular design enables simple design of custom solutions and supports easy trouble-shooting, enabling crew to change units if necessary. Te GLA-300 radar tank gauge draws its


high-accuracy and durability from the already proven offset parabolic antenna design, which is capable of withstanding the harsh tank environment. The antenna radiates a high frequency (24GHz), narrow beam, which makes it easy to position in the tank


and very resistant to the problems caused by condensation and deposits from the cargo. The latest tank gauging monitoring


solution is applicable for most liquid cargo tankers including oil and chemical, across the entire temperature range and is suitable for sockets with inner diameter 200mm or larger (JIS flange). Te monitoring system makes use of several features from the inspection hatch on the GL-300 radar tank gauge to a focus on minimising cabling across the entire system. NA
