Saab Tank Radar

Saab Tank Radar

All marine Saab Tank Radar® gauges are intrinsically safe, providing a number of benefits for the operator. There is a high degree of safety built into the system.

The Saab Tank Radar® G3 is the third generation of marine tank radar gauges. About 50% of the tankers built today, are equipped with Saab TankRadar®. Over 1000 tankers are sailing with Saab Tank Radar® onboard.

There are three types of transmitters with different antennas available with Saab Tank Radar® G3:

  • Parabolic Antenna Transmitter for all types of crude products and Chemical tankers.
  • Cone Antenna Transmitter for ships with shallow tanks.
  • Level Gauge for Liquefied Gas Tankers.
  • Fast Opening Transmitter for bitumen carries

Here at Saab Marine the main theme for everything we do is based around safety especially when it comes to saab tank radar development. Due to this it has resulted in our reliability in all the functions of our radars,which of course includes the automatic function monitoring that you find in all of the saab radars these days. A question we are always asked here at saab marine is whether when the saab tank radar enters the tank to do its work could it at all have any possible effects on any person or persons that may be inside the tank working at the time, fortunately we can tell you categorically that even if you stand right in front of the antennae the level of power that comes from the radar would not even be one percent of what most port authorities would consider as dangerous, so there is absolutely no danger of using the saab tank radar, that is why it is highly recommended by most marine authorities.
