Singapore-based Penguin International has selected FUELTRAX to provide electronic fuel monitoring system (EFMS) solutions for its Flex Fighter range of armored multi-role security boats.

The aluminum high-speed craft designer, builder, owner will also install FUELTRAX on its own fleet of Flex-42X Executive Fast Crew Boats.

Recognizing the increased demand for EFMS by vessel owners and oil majors alike, Penguin is committed to providing the best EFMS solution on the market for their build-for-stock program, said a press release from the universal fuel management solution provider.

Commencing July 2019, all of Penguin’s Flex Fighters in their build-for-stock program will come standard with FUELTRAX EFMS installed onboard.

Penguin runs a self-funded build-for-stock program that features their Flex Fighter security boats and Flex crew boats and also undertakes owner-specific build-to-order and repair projects for a variety of high-speed crafts. Their Flex Fighter and Flex-42X designs have respectively become the industry standard for security boats and crew boats.

Since 1995, Penguin has delivered close to 200 aluminum workboats, patrol craft, and passenger ferries to ship owners around the world, including over 120 of their proprietary-designed Flex series of security boats and crew boats.

Penguin expects this number to increase with the standardization of FUELTRAX as the leading provider of EFMS to oil majors globally.

FUELTRAX currently operates onboard 6 Penguin Flexes, with another 8 to 10 installations to be completed through 2019. As Penguin continues their build-for-stock program, this number is expected to increase by an additional 12 to 15 systems through 2020.
