Complete turnkey solution

One cabinet, all parameters – Sea Sentry features pH, temperature, turbidity and PAH sensors as standard within the cabinet, covering all requirements of the IMO regulations
Full range PAH_phe readings – Sea Sentry provides the full PAH measurement range (0-4500µg/l) required in the regulations by applying environmental corrections – no further calculations are required
Integrated corrections – the PAH_phe measurement is corrected for the environmental effects of turbidity, UV absorbance and temperature interference within the system, resulting in high quality data displayed automatically on the user interface
Reliable operation – the inclusion of a de-bubbler within the system ensures air bubbles are removed from the wash water before the measurements are taken, thus eliminating a source of error.
Integral sensor cleaning – Sea Sentry features an integrated air purge anti fouling system within the cabinet, which keeps the sensor windows clean enabling accurate optical measurements.

Operational support

On board verification of sensors – the new Chelsea solid standards kit allows you to verify the sensor calibration onsite with easy to operate, robust and stable solid standards as part of the commissioning process.
Installation support and commissioning – experienced engineers provide support during installation and offer Chelsea certified commissioning of the wash water monitoring cabinets.
Training – Chelsea scientists and engineers provide training for Sea Sentry operators and manufacturers of exhaust gas cleaning systems looking to integrate a monitoring system to their offering. Training can be provided online, remotely or onsite.
Technical support – as designers and manufacturers of the Sea Sentry system, and the PAH and turbidity sensors, Chelsea scientists and engineers can provide technical support and commissioning services.
Spares provision – spare parts and sensors can be provided as an additional package with the cabinets and are available as needed from the UK headquarters
Sensor calibration – comprehensive calibration services are provided by Chelsea calibration scientists on an ad hoc basis or under long term support contracts.

Ease of integration

Flexible inlet/outlet connections – Sea Sentry cabinets are supplied with standard BSP fitting, allowing integrators the flexibility of adding the flanges suited to the overall system.
Flexible power supply and data interface – Including 85 – 264 VAC, 45 – 65 Hz, 90 – 350 VDC, Modbus TCP/IP RJ45, and 4 – 20mA analogue outputs.
One point of contact – as designers and manufacturers of both the sensors and complete system, Chelsea can provide integrators with technical expertise and knowledge on all aspects of the wash water monitoring system.

Sea Sentry FAQs

What is the difference between Type Approval and Accreditation?

Type approval and accreditation are both very important certificates and also commonly confused for one another. Equipment installed on board must be safe to use by staff. This status is granted by multiple authorities (DNV, ABS, Class NK and Lloyds Registry). This is often referred to as the ‘Shake and Bake’ testing as it involves prolonged periods of salt spraying, temperature cycling and vibration testing to ensure it is safe to be installed on a ship.

Accreditation certifies a system as being able to evaluate that wash water meets the IMO standards and is therefore IMO Accredited. This involves approval of the methods used in the monitoring. Sea Sentry has been awarded Accreditation by DNV-GL, confirming Sea Sentry complies with IMO Annex VI wash water discharge regulations.
