Project scope depends on the vessel, operating environment, and applicable flag-state and classification requirements.
Project planning
Define the onboard requirement
Vessel & operation
Vessel type, operating area, flag, class where applicable, and the planned work.
Existing installation
Supply voltages, load list, battery and charging details, drawings, and equipment condition.
Documentation & approvals
Electrical diagrams, equipment schedules, alarm lists, and required authority reviews or surveys.
Scoping an onboard electrical project
What information is needed before reviewing the system?
Provide the vessel type, operating environment, existing AC and DC supply voltages, load list, and available drawings. Battery capacity, charging arrangements, shore-power equipment, and known faults help define the work. Photos and equipment manuals can support the initial review.
What documentation can be scoped?
Depending on the requirement, the package may include a system overview, single-line diagrams, equipment schedules, alarm lists, and maintenance information. The electrical engineering service describes the wider documentation and design process. Marine work remains subject to the vessel's applicable review and approval requirements.
Can monitoring be added to an existing installation?
An initial assessment identifies the available sensor outputs, communication interfaces, operator needs, and power supply. Monitoring should make equipment status and faults easier to understand. Any proposed control changes need a separate assessment of the existing installation and its operating requirements.
