What is LinerSCAN?

LinerSCAN from Kittiwake is the world's first real-time alarm system for engine liner wear.  The system detects fine metal particles in the scrapedown oil and provides an immediate warning of excessive wear from problems such as scuffing. 

Slow steaming, drives to cut fuel consumption, variable sulphur levels and lube oil formulation changes will continue to force shipping into unknown territory.  Instantaneous results allow you to make immediate decisions on board before the damage becomes irreversible and expensive.

LinerSCAN marks a new era in asset protection providing early warning against critical cylinder liner damage and information needed to safely reduce cylinder lubricant consumption.
