Marine boiler automation: Upgrade your system for efficiency and reliability
Maintaining marine boilers in optimal operating condition is crucial for ensuring safe and cost-effective vessel performance. Modern marine boiler automation plays a crucial role in achieving this, improving reliability, safety, and fuel efficiency while reducing downtime and operational costs.
At Global Boiler Services, we specialise in delivering advanced marine automation services and turnkey solutions for complete control system replacements or upgrades to your existing control system.

Why upgrade your boiler automation?
Many vessels still operate with ageing or semi-manual boiler systems that demand constant crew intervention and offer limited diagnostic feedback. These older systems often lead to inconsistent operation, higher fuel consumption, and increased risk of failure.
Upgrading to a modern marine boiler automation system offers several key benefits:
- Increased efficiency: Automation optimises combustion and fuel-air balance, reducing energy waste.
- Enhanced safety: Automatic monitoring and alarms minimise human error and maintain compliance with the latest Class and IMO standards.
- Predictive maintenance: Smart automation detects early warning signs, enabling timely intervention before costly breakdowns occur.
- Operational consistency: Stable steam pressure and water levels ensure smooth onboard performance.
