Our team just returned after completing the installation of a new DEGO diesel engine governor and ASAC actuator on the ship Da Shen. Da Shen is currently undergoing renovations and upgrades before it is taken into operation by McKeil Marine in Canada.
The new DEGO IV governor and and ASAC actuator replaces the old analog Woodward regulator and hydraulic actuator with modern digital propulsion control, which enables integration with other on-board systems and future upgrades to eco-driving and CII management using EcoPilot. Even older single engine ships like this can be made more energy efficient!
Ship data for Da Shen:
Dead weight: 19,651 MT
Length (overall): 155 m
Breadth (extreme): 22 m
Built year: 1998
