Vecsafe™

£1.00

Vecsafe™ monitors oxygen and pressure levels in the Vapour Emission Control Systems (VECS). Each vapour line is monitored during loading operations for any over or under-pressurisation or an increase in oxygen levels approaching 8% volume in compliance with USCG and IMO legislation.
Features;

  • Simple installation
  • Reliable and proven technology
  • Large reference list for new and retrofit vessels
  • Cost-effective system to buy and maintain
  • DNV and CCS Type Approval

Vecsafe™ Gas Detection System

The system comprises of a deck-mounted enclosure containing an intrinsically safe oxygen sensor and pressure sensor with associated sample pipework, selector switches, and signal communications.

The control and alarm panel is normally mounted in the cargo control room (CCR) and provides an alphanumeric display of the oxygen level and pressure reading at each point.

Local audio and visual alarms can be initiated from the control panel, and repeater panels are optionally available for wheelhouse and engine control room annunciation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the Vecsafe system comply with USCG regulations for vapour emission control?

Yes. The Vecsafe system is fully compliant with USCG 46 CFR Ch 1 39.40-3 and IMO legislation. It is specifically designed to monitor oxygen and pressure levels in Vapour Emission Control Systems (VECS) to ensure oxygen levels do not exceed 8% by volume, maintaining safety during tanker loading operations. 

Can Vecsafe be installed on existing vessels as a retrofit? 

Yes. Vecsafe is designed for both new builds and retrofits. The system features a simple installation process with a deck-mounted enclosure containing intrinsically safe sensors and a control panel typically mounted in the Cargo Control Room (CCR), with optional repeater panels for the wheelhouse and engine room. 

What type of sensors does Vecsafe use for monitoring? 

Vecsafe utilises high-accuracy electrochemical sensors for oxygen monitoring and stainless steel pressure sensors as found in our MM2000 Gas Detection System. The pressure sensors provide a range of -1000 to +3000 mmWG with an accuracy of ≥ 0.5% of span and are ATEX certified for use in hazardous environments.

Does Vecsafe Hold DNV and CCS Type Approval?

Yes. Vecsafe is fully DNV and CCS Type Approved, ensuring the system meets the rigorous quality and safety standards required by leading classification societies. This allows for seamless integration on both new build and retrofits, providing global compliance with USCG 46 CFR and IMO legislation for vapour emission control.
