FAQ

Find answers to the most commonly asked questions

What factors influence the choice between Mechanical EPL and ShaPoLi?

Consider time constraints, budget, long-term vision, and operational profile. Mechanical EPL is ideal for immediate compliance and cost-effectiveness, while ShaPoLi offers long-term benefits in adaptability, efficiency, and potential digitalization. 

What is the typical installation timeline for each system?

Mechanical EPL installation typically takes 2-3 weeks, while ShaPoLi requires 5-8 weeks due to its electronic nature and additional cabling needs. 

Does Normec Verifavia provide crew training for EPL/ShaPoLi operation?

Yes, we offer comprehensive crew training programs tailored to the specific EPL/ShaPoLi system installed, ensuring safe and efficient operation. 

What are the ongoing maintenance requirements for EPL/ShaPoLi systems?

Both systems only require routine maintenance as per manufacturer guidelines. This can be easily done by the ship’s Crew. ShaPoLi may require additional periodic maintenance/ part replacements after some number of years. This varies system to system and is to be as per manufacturer’s recommendations.  

By leveraging Normec Verifavia’s expertise and comprehensive EPL/ShaPoLi services, you can confidently navigate EEXI compliance and achieve operational efficiency.
