What is

What is S-Keeper 7™?

S-Keeper 7™ is a Continuous Emissions Monitoring System CEMS Type Approved for marine application fully engineered, integrated and validated in accordance with the applicable Directives. S-Keeper 7™ is made in Italy by Tecnova HT.

S-Keeper 7™ has been found to comply with the applicable requirements for SO2 and CO2 analyzer specified in Chapter 6 of Resolution MEPC.259(68) “2015 Guidelines for exhaust gas cleaning systems” therefore it is ” Scrubber Ready “. Now.

S-Keeper 7™ is obviously already in compliance with:

MARPOL Annex VI Reg. 13 & 14
MEPC Circ. 471, 177(58), 259(68)
IEC 60092-504
Regulation (EU) 2015/757

S-Keeper 7™ is fully tailored to the Shipowner’s requirements with particular focus on CaPex & OpEx balance.

S-Keeper 7™ could be also integrated with a modern PEM Propulsion Efficiency Monitor, thus encompassing metered Fuel Consumption, Fuel Oil Viscosity, Thrust and Torque measuring Systems.

Thanks to the specific engineering of this modular system, the S-Keeper 7™ installation is able to withstand the toughest marine environment.

On-board maintenance is easy even for an unskilled operator, while the SPMP Spare Parts Management Program ensures the traceability of every single component and its availability on the ship’s course.
