Electronically controlled marine diesel engines were designed especially in the 2000s in order to meet the requirements of MARPOL Annex VI to reduce ship-borne air pollution and ensure energy efficiency. With the development of the working conditions of traditional marine diesel engines, the training of responsible shift engineers has become an important need.


Minimization of human error and minimization of risks will be through familiarity with the failure scenarios to be experienced. In this sense, SERS™ engine room simulator training will be an important opportunity to prevent accidents resulting in material and life losses for ship personnel and companies with various scenarios such as possible malfunctions, routine operations and emergency scenarios.

With the training designed as Basic Level (2 days) and Advanced Level (1 day), it is aimed to provide important information on topics such as the operation of electronically controlled marine diesel engines, possible malfunctions, and performance analysis. GDS Engineering R&D Team of Marine Engineering Training Experts has provided a solution to this training need, which is increasing day by day in global maritime trade, and aimed to increase the training efficiency by strengthening this solution with simulator and MPC applications.

Electronically controlled marine diesel engines is designed to reduce ship-borne air pollution and provide energy efficiency, especially in the 2000s to meet MARPOL Annex VI requirements. The training of responsible  duty engineers has become an important need with the development of working conditions of commercial marine diesel engines,

Minimizing human error and minimizing risks will be achieved through familiarity with possible failure scenarios. In this sense, SERSTM engine room simulator training provides familiarity with endless scenarios and possible failures. In this way, it will be an important opportunity to prevent accidents that result in material and life losses for seafarers and companies due to failures. SERS™ provides full software functions for ME Controlled Engines that are currently in use onboard cargo ships. These tools are PMI, MOP A and MOP B panels, and additional engine performance diagram tools for monitoring and plotting the engine variables versus time or versus each other (X-Y graphs). The toold provide a mean of comparing the simulated variables against the actual ones recorded during actual tests, i.e. in factory or seakeeping tests.

The training, designed as basic level (2 days) and advanced level (1 day), aims to provide important information on electronically controlled marine diesel engines. GDS R&D Engineering aims to provide a solution for an important need in global maritime trade.

Electro-Magnetic Compatibility (EMC) of Marine Devices and Electrical Equipment

Devices used onboard a ship are exposed to harsh electromagnetic environments, whether in the propulsion, deck or bridge area of a ship. Testing of such devices for Electro-Magnetic Compatibility (EMC) is therefore very important. Otherwise, manufacturers can face difficulties during the certification and procurement stages.

EMC testing and certification  services to ensure your marine products comply with relevant international standards and regulations is a MUST!

GDS Engineering R&D does not perform these tests yet; however, have the information on design and test knowledge. The requirements include the international conventions as agreed by the International Maritime Organization (IMO) for Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS).

Currently, we have observed that these tests are conducted by reputable agencies like ELEMENT.

The testing laboratories use the following standards to test the marine electronic, digital or electrical devices for certification to IMO SOLAS requirements, guidance, or recommendations:

  • IEC 60945
  • IEC 60533
  • Lloyds Register Test Spec No 1
  • DNV Certification Notes 2.4
  • IEC 60092

Support and guidance from the initial design stage

The use of composite materials in ship construction together with new radio technologies and high power electronics are changing the requirements and design goals that need to be achieved to ensure electromagnetic compatibility.  Element is well placed with our knowledge of both standards and the target environment to provide detailed guidance of the best compliance strategies to adopt for your marine products.

CE Marking and Wheel Mark certification

Element performs EMC testing in conjunction with climatic and environmental test requirements to meet dedicated marine standards and be compliant with CE marking legislation. We make sure your marine equipment complies with the relevant EMC standards listed in the Marine Equipment Directive to help you achieve the Wheel Mark certification.

Do you need to perform acceleration testing of your military products or systems for specific platforms?

Acceleration, as addressed in MIL-STD-810G Method 513.6 (Department of Defense, 2009), is a load factor (inertial load or “g” load) that is applied slowly enough and held steady for a period of time such that the materiel has sufficient time to fully distribute the resulting internal loads to all critical joints and components.

The common methods used to expose equipment to a sustained acceleration load are centrifuge and track/rocket-powered-sled testing.


However, both methods impose limitations on AE equipment testing. For example, the costs required and the scheduling, planning, and coordination phases associated with the use of these types of test
facilities are often prohibitive. In some cases, centrifuges and track/rocket sleds may limit the orientations at which the test article can be mounted for testing. To maintain validity, all AE devices are tested under the same mounting configuration as intended for operational use. Finally, due to the often expensive and delicate nature of medical devices, insufficient inventories often prevent the use of these tests due to their somewhat destructive nature.


Because of the difficulties associated with physical dynamic testing, the ATB team initially turned to Finite Element Analysis (FEA) as the method of choice for meeting acceleration test requirements.

MIL-STD-810H Training. Acceleration Testing. Aircraft Systems. RTCA-DO-160. Crash Hazard.

Recent technological advances in microcomputing and higher resolution graphics capabilities allowed complex systems to be modeled and simulated for both static and dynamic tests.

The FEA techniques were already used by others for various aircraft structures and devices. For example, Foster and Sarwade (2005) performed an FEA of a structure that attached medical devices to a litter. This structure was later approved as STF. Continuing on the same theme, Lawrence, Fasanella, Tabiei, Brinkley, and Shemwell (2008) studied a crash test dummy model for NASA’s Orion
crew module landings using FEA. Viisoreanu, Rutman, and Cassatt (1999) reported their findings for the analysis of the aircraft cargo net barrier using FEA. Furthermore, Motevalli and Noureddine (1998)
used an FEA model of a fuselage section to simulate the aircraft cabin environment in air turbulence. These and similar studies demonstrated the successful use of the FEA method to verify requirements
by analysis for an acceleration test.


Given the costs associated with dynamic testing, the ATB originally envisioned using the FEA method to alleviate budget and inventory concerns. To test this theory, the ATB employed FEA for testing various AE structures to meet the acceleration requirements and found some aspects of this method to be cost- and time-prohibitive.


Lessons learned from these studies are provided in the case-studies section. The various types of analysis and test methods raise questions as to what the correct decision process is for selecting the most appropriate method for STF testing of AE equipment.

RTCA-DO-160 Fire and Flammability Training. MIL-STD-810H. Risks and Assessment Techniques.

The authors of this article describe the process developed and employed by the ATB for the acceleration testing of AE equipment since June 2008.


The ATB’s process has proven to be well suited for identifying the most appropriate test method—one that not only represents the most appropriate and effective test method, but also minimizes the use of available resources. This process includes testing both structurally simple and complex equipment and successfully introducing the use of the Equivalent Load Testing (ELT) method, which permits
the use of alternative testing approaches, such as pull testing and tensile testing.
