Home / Industries / Marine & Shipbreaking

The marine and shipbreaking industries utilize high-capacity and extremely durable weighing and force measurement systems for critical safety and inventory tasks in harsh, saline environments. In the marine sector, load cells are essential for safety and operational monitoring, with devices like Tension Link Load Cells or Load Pins integrated into anchor lines, mooring systems, and marine cranes to measure immense tensile forces and prevent dangerous overloads. These specialized load cells are constructed from stainless steel with robust hermetic sealing to withstand immersion, high shock loads, and corrosion. In the shipbreaking/ship recycling industry, the primary use of weighing instruments is to track the mass of dismantled ship sections and scrap metal for inventory, sales, and environmental reporting. Since ships cannot be placed on conventional scales, once sections are cut, they are typically weighed using high-capacity Crane Scales (which contain S-Beam or robust tension load cells) or by weighing the trucks carrying the scrap metal using Weighbridges (which utilize Compression or Shear Beam Load Cells). The electronics (Indicators/Controllers) used in both sectors feature durable, waterproof enclosures and often wireless transmission capabilities for safety and remote monitoring.
