SEMCO TANK LEVEL GAUGE - New Information -

Since its founding in 1985, SEMCO LTD. has established itself as a leading manufacturer of tank level gauges, earning high acclaim both domestically and internationally. We hold the top share in Japan’s engine room tank gauge market, and our products have become the industry standard at shipyards across Japan. Semco gauges are also trusted by shipbuilders in South Korea, Taiwan, Singapore, and other international markets.

At SEMCO LTD., we have developed a new type of tank sounding device, the smart sounding scale “Honesty.” Recently, a major Japanese shipping company reported annual losses of around JPY100 million (approx. 654,345 USD) due to "cappuccino bunkers." In response, the Honesty was engineered to solve this issue. This advanced scale accurately detects the true liquid level by ignoring foam or froth associated with cappuccino bunkers, ensuring reliable readings of actual fuel levels.

With over 700 installations on vessels worldwide, Honesty has seen increasing adoption not only in Japan but also among international shipowners and ship management companies. Its key advantage lies in its speed and precision, measuring tank levels at nearly three times the rate of conventional models. Beyond addressing cappuccino bunkering issues, Honesty also fulfills a growing demand for faster, more precise fuel measurement, improving operational efficiency and the working environment for crew members.

At SEMCO LTD., we are dedicated to developing reliable, innovative products. Guided by our mission to “create what doesn’t yet exist,” we partner with customers to drive forward manufacturing in the global shipbuilding industry.
