MasterTrack 588
The MasterTrack 588® from Brannstrom is an advanced Bilge Discharge Monitoring and Control System designed to ensure compliance with international marine environmental regulations by continuously monitoring, recording, and controlling bilge water discharge operations. Acting as a secure onboard environmental compliance management system, it provides complete traceability of discharge activities while preventing unauthorized overboard discharge.
Description
Built around the proven BilgMon 488® 15 ppm Bilge Alarm technology, the MasterTrack 588® records critical operational data including oil content, discharge volumes, overboard valve status, vessel location, and system access events. Its tamper-proof black-box recording functionality provides vessel operators, inspectors, and authorities with reliable documentation of all discharge operations.
