Level Master cargo handling support and tank gauging solutions by Musasino bring together our long experience in marine equipment with state of the art and innovative new systems. From level gauging equipment, through the network architecture and operating software, we have developed and refined streamlined solutions for a wide variety of applications.
Level Master – 11 solutions are founded on the principle of providing support for safe and accurate cargo handling operations. The on-deck gauges provide current conditions to the software applications, giving the crew the information they need when they need it. Operators are immediately alerted to any alarm limits being exceeded or to any failures in the system. The allows straight-forward setting of cargo parameters and alarm points. Cargo planning functions assist the crew in drawing up safe cargo loading and discharging plans through simulations based on current onboard conditions and user input. The operator interface is designed to integrate signals from other manufacturers' equipment as desired, and can facilitate monitoring and control for pumps and valves.

- Musasino makes full use of frequency modulated continuous wave (FMCW) radar technology in the Level Echo Ace cargo tank gauge. The detector emits microwaves throughout the 10GHz band, calculating the distance to the liquid cargo surface (ullage) from the time it takes to receive the return signal. The built-in processor sends a digital signal directly to the display in the cargo control room, and to the on-deck display if included.
Key Features & Benefits
- • FMCW technology
- • Accurate and reliable
- • Built-in digital signal processing
- • Built-in
- • Built-in tank pressure sensor
- • Small, lightweight
- • Easy maintenance
In addition to the tank level gauging function, a tank gas pressure sensor is built in to the housing. Signals from the tank temperature gauge are also processed and sent in a bundle with the other tank information, reducing the amount of wiring needed on deck.The housing is small and lightweight, yet designed to endure the harsh conditions found on the decks of tankers. The hoop clamp closure allows easy access when maintenance or inspection is necessary.All devices and equipment produced by Musasino for use in hazardous areas or potentially explosive environments are certified as intrinsically safe.Specifications differ between models in the same line. - Level Master Ace (LMA) is the most recent design of our original level gauge. For over 45 years, this gauge has proven to be reliable, accurate and versatile. The choice of materials, features and measuring range allow LMA to be used on a wide range of ships and for a wide variety of applications.
Key Features & Benefits
- • Proven accuracy, reliability, and durability
- • Simple, robust design
- • Wide range of applications
- • Range of options and functions
- • Maximum 40 meter measuring range
- • Low maintenance
- • Available
The basic methodology of LMA has not changed much since the first installation, though we have continued to improve the overall design and functionality. A float containing magnets rises and falls along the guide pipe triggering reed switches embedded in the sensor element. Depending on customer requirements, LMA can be fitted with a built-in pressure sensor and built-in temperature sensors, reducing wiring requirements and the need for any further deck penetrations. With various options for float shape and materials, LMA can be applied to a wide range of liquids.All devices and equipment produced by Musasino for use in hazardous areas or potentially explosive environments are certified as intrinsically safe.Specifications differ between models in the same line. air-purge type level gauge
- Level Aeran 2 (LA2) uses a unique technology to deliver high accuracy ballast tank monitoring efficiently. Rather than the constant flow of air to the purge head used in traditional designs, LA2 uses a series of solenoid valves to regulate air flow and ultimately reduce the amount of air - and energy - needed for accurate level gauging. By intermittently stopping the supply of air, stable pressure is maintained during measurement. An added benefit is that the slightly higher air pressure that follows helps keep the purge head clear of blockage.
Key Features & Benefits
- • High accuracy
- • Low air consumption
- • Small on-deck and control room footprints
- • Automated air control and atmospheric pressure adjustments
- • Built-in
We have designed the control box to handle up to 24 tanks, yet still take up little space. Integrating the wiring and air supply pipes, along with the small purge head, has kept the deck space needed for an LA2 installation to a minimum.All devices and equipment produced by Musasino for use in hazardous areas or potentially explosive environments are certified as intrinsically safe.Specifications differ between models in the same line. ultrasonic type independent alarm
- Level Watch 2 (LW2) was designed as an independent high level and overfill alarm for cargo tanks that would have no moving parts or need calibration for different applications. The detector works by sending an ultrasonic wave between a transmitter and a receiver. When liquid comes between the two, there is a change in the strength of the wave reaching the receiver, and the alarm is triggered.
Key Features & Benefits
- • Simple and robust structure
- • No moving parts
- • Simple operational testing
- • Digital signal processing
- • Standard
- • Wide range of applications
LW2 works with a range of applications, and is designed to stand up to the harsh conditions found in cargo tanks, such as sloshing and vibration.All devices and equipment produced by Musasino for use in hazardous areas or potentially explosive environments are certified as intrinsically safe.Specifications differ between models in the same line. hydrostatic pressure type level gauge
- Level Cera (LC) is designed for use in fresh water, sea water and fuel tanks, and as a draft gauge. To combat the corrosive effects of sea water, LC has been given a corrosion-resistant ceramic diaphragm and sensor housing. This helps prolong the operating life and reduce the maintenance requirements. The gauge works by converting the water pressure on the diaphragm in to a level reading. A signal processor in the gauge housing puts out a digital signal to the control room display.
Level Watch III
ultrasonic type water ingress alarm / dryness sensor
- Level Watch III (LWIII) uses ultrasonic waves to detect the presence of water or other liquids in the cargo holds of bulkers and other dry cargo ships, as well as in other areas where it may be necessary to detect water ingress. Various mounting configurations for LWIII are available, but the basic functions of the detector remain the same. LWIII is mounted at a set point. When water submerges the transmitter and receiver in the probe, there is a change in the ultrasonic wave that reaches the receiver. This change activates the alarm.
Key Features & Benefits
- • Robust architecture
- • Simple design and maintenance
- • No moving parts
- • Range of installation configurations
Float Switch
horizontal float type level gauge
- Float Switch (FS) is a versatile little gauge that has been recently redesigned. The gauge mounts on the sidewall of a tank to provide high or low level indications. Once the level of the liquid in the tank passes the float arm, a magnet in the base of the arm triggers a reed switch in the detector. It is a simple design that requires very little maintenance.
Key Features & Benefits
- • Light weight
- • Simple maintenance
- • Multiple applications
FS can be used for fresh water, sea water, chemical and petroleum product applications.All devices and equipment produced by Musasino for use in hazardous areas or potentially explosive environments are certified as intrinsically safe.Specifications differ between models in the same line. -
