Successful upgrade of an obsolete PLC-based Power Management System to the Symap Power Management System.  

Project Overview:

Tritek Power & Automation successfully completed a critical Power Management System (PMS) upgrade on an offshore support vessel in Baku. This project involved replacing the outdated, non-functional PLC-based PMS with a modern Symap controller PMS, improving vessel automation, operational efficiency, and system reliability.

The retrofit was designed to seamlessly integrate with the vessel’s existing infrastructure, preserving all previous functionalities while adding advanced power monitoring, automated load management, and intelligent control capabilities. With this upgrade, the vessel now meets current operational standards, enhances safety, and is prepared for future technological advancements in marine electrical systems.

Key Challenges: 

• Legacy PLC-based PMS no longer supported by the manufacturer
• Limited downtime window for retrofitting and commissioning
• Integrating the new system with existing propulsion and power systems
• Harsh offshore environmental conditions
• Ensuring compliance with ABS class requirements

Technical Highlights:

• Smooth integration of the new PMS without operational interruptions
• Replacement of outdated PLC system with Symap controller PMS
• Advanced load distribution, system monitoring, and automated control
• Partner-certified solution ensuring reliability, safety, and marine compliance
• Future-ready infrastructure supporting scalable automation and monitoring

Results & Impact:

• Enhanced operational reliability and system redundancy
• Improved safety with automated power management controls
• Reduced vessel downtime during upgrade and commissioning
• Achieved charter readiness and compliance with class standards
• Optimized energy efficiency and load management onboard
