Sea Command - Seaward Automation

Sea Command: a proprietary Seawater Automated Distribution System

Seaward Automation’s proprietary Sea Command system automates the distribution of charged raw water on your vessel, providing seamless control and monitoring of pumps, valves, and filters. Designed to reduce system failures caused by low flow or pressure, Sea Command ensures efficient operation and enhanced performance for vessels of any size. With real-time insights and logic-based automation, this system optimizes water distribution, minimizing downtime and improving reliability.

Key Features and Benefits

Automated RAW Water Movement

Continuous monitoring and control of your vessel’s raw water system automatically maintains proper pressure of seawater flow to accessories such as live wells, tuna tubes, air conditioners, and stabilizing equipment, ensuring balanced operation of all equipment.

Operational Efficiency

By automating your vessel’s raw water system, the risk of seawater starvation due to failed pumps, blinded filters, or low pressure is eliminated, allowing for optimal performance of all seawater-supplied equipment on board.

Ease Of Use

By automating the movement of your vessel’s raw water system, the need for captains and crew to enter engine rooms is eliminated. Turning on seawater valves and pumps can be done underway.

System Operation

Advanced Sensors

Sensors located around your vessel’s raw water system provide real-time feedback, allowing our automated system to ensure proper system pressure is maintained throughout the vessel’s raw water system and alert users of possible equipment failures, such as fouled strainers, clogged coolers, or failing pumps.

Fail-Safe Mechanisms

Incorporating redundant fail-safe features such as automatic seawater pump lead-lag, pressure sensors and motorized distribution valves, prevent issues in your vessel’s raw water distribution system due to low or reduced flow.

Automated Controls

Automated control of seawater accessory valves for sport fishing vessels and motor yachts, eliminating the need for below-deck operator entry.

Remote Monitoring

Capability for remote monitoring and control, allowing captains and operators to oversee fuel transfer operations from a distance for added convenience and safety.

Applications

Our proprietary seawater automated distribution systems can be applied to various types of vessels operating charged seawater cooling systems.

Sailing Yachts

Efficiently channeling raw water with precise control overflow rates ensuring a reliable and sustainable supply to air conditioners aboard.

pleasure craft

Optimizes raw water distribution onboard, ensuring cooling water is evenly distributed throughout the vessel. Mitigates downtime by monitoring seawater flow and allowing preventative maintenance of seawater handling equipment such as pumps and strainers.

Sport Fishing Vessels

Simplifies the operation of LiveWell equipment and ensures your vessel supplies a proper flow of water to bait storage compartments, such as live wells and tuna tubes, while still maintaining proper operational pressure of critical systems like air conditioners and stabilizers.

System Design & Implementation

When implementing our proprietary Seawater Automated Distribution Systems, we take the following into consideration:

New Vessel Manufacturers

System implementation and product specification for vessel manufacturers, ensuring seamless integration in new vessel construction.

Retrofit Of Existing Vessels

Tailoring systems to suit specific vessel configurations, such as raw water piping layout, type and number of seawater pumps, type of seawater-cooled equipment onboard as well as required automated directional control valves.

Training

Provide comprehensive training for OEMs and vessel owners on proper automated system operation and maintenance.
