AMS & UMS

AMS – Alarm Monitoring System

The AMS (Alarm Monitoring System) is one of the most critical components ensuring the safe and reliable operation of a vessel. Its primary role is to detect, notify, and inform the responsible personnel of any system conditions or potential hazards, allowing for timely intervention and compliance with international safety standards.

✅ Core Functionality: The AMS processes, stores, distributes, and displays vital ship system information.

✅ System Objective: To provide the crew with accurate and continuous real-time data, ensuring fast and effective response to any event.

✅ User Interface: Alarms and notifications are clearly displayed on all operator stations, providing full situational awareness and enabling immediate decision-making.

✅ Key Advantages:

  • Continuous monitoring of all critical ship systems.

  • Automatic event logging and fault history tracking.

  • Seamless integration with other onboard systems (UMS, PMS, Propulsion, Fire & Safety).

  • Simple and intuitive operation through a modern graphic interface.


UMS – Unmanned Machinery Space

The UMS (Unmanned Machinery Space) system enables the operation and supervision of engine rooms without constant human presence, representing a major step toward automation and smart vessel management. It enhances efficiency, safety, and control, allowing ship systems to operate autonomously and reliably.

✅ How It Works:
The UMS utilizes sensors, PLCs, SCADA, and remote monitoring technologies to oversee the engine room and connected systems from the control room or other onboard stations.

✅ Main Benefits:

  • Automatic fault detection and alerting.

  • Reduced need for manual supervision.

  • Improved energy efficiency and operational reliability.

  • Safe 24/7 operation with minimal human intervention.

✅ System Integration:
The UMS connects seamlessly with the AMSPower Management System (PMS), and propulsion control systems, forming a unified monitoring and control environment that ensures complete visibility and coordination across the ship’s operations.
