Dear SNAME Member,
We are pleased to invite you to attend our third technical meeting for the 2012-2013 season, during which Mr. Nicholas Kolliarakis, Managing Director at MIE Company Ltd, Greece will speak on the subject of:
“Engine Monitor: The Greek Answer to Engine Performance Monitoring”
In a time of high bunker prices efficient operation of the engine becomes critical. Engine monitor is a tool which aims to fulfill that need. It is a web based software, which by evaluating a minimum possible amount of engine data, commonly available on board, is capable to verify the quality of engine operation and hull/propeller cleanliness. Diagnostic comments are also generated every time a deviation exists between the actual, and the optimum value (the value in ‘‘as new’’ condition, under same power output) of an operating parameter. Valuable conclusions may be drawn for possible underwater fouling, air supply to cylinders, fouling of turbocharger, wear of HP fuel oil pumps, defects in ring packs/exhaust valves, condition of fuel injection equipment and cleanliness of air cooler. It requires no additional equipment or instruments than the ones commonly found on board a vessel, and the trend function along with available KPI's, serve as a monitoring tool for effective management of engine/hull condition and maintenance.
Date and location for our meeting are:
Date : Thursday, December 13th, 2012
Time : 7.00 pm
Location : The auditorium of Maran Tankers Inc. (ex Kristen Navigation).
354 Syngrou Ave. (building before the Onassion Hospital)

After the meeting hors d’oeuvres, wine, soft drinks, etc. will be served.
The participation fee is 5 euros for members and students and 10 euros for non-members, which will be paid at the entrance prior to the start of the meeting.
We hope to see you on December 13th and Wish You and Your Families a VERY HAPPY HOLIDAY SEASON AND A HAPPY & PROSPEROUS 2013 in GOOD HEALTH!
