Flood system

PSM Instrumentation is claiming another order from a major shipbuilder shows the builders have recognised the vital role a reliable flood detection system plays on vessels. Its new-build 150m twin-deck deepwater vessel, destined for use in pipeline construction, will be fitted with a PSM bilge level switch at 140 detection points, protecting the ship from potential flood risk. PSM said bilge level switches are a safety critical component for the detection of liquid in dead spaces and voids that are rarely visited or inspected by the crew. They need to be rugged yet reliable should a rising liquid level indicate a leakage or flooding hazard.
