The Saab Marine Electronics SPA-M PB253 is a printed circuit board (PCB) card designed for use within the Saab TankRadar system — a precision radar-based tank gauging and level measurement platform widely deployed across commercial and industrial vessels. As a dedicated control card within the TankRadar architecture, this PCB supports signal processing, communication, and system coordination functions essential to accurate cargo and ballast tank monitoring. Reliable operation of such boards is fundamental to safe cargo management, ullage reporting, and compliance with onboard measurement requirements. Part of the broader Marine Control System category, this card plays a key role in maintaining the integrity of continuous level monitoring operations.
Key Features
✓ Functions as a dedicated PCB control card within the Saab TankRadar radar-based tank gauging system, supporting signal and data processing operations.
✓ Identified by part reference 9150023-122K; exact electrical ratings, dimensions, and certifications are subject to confirmation based on system configuration and vessel installation.
✓ Designed for compatibility within the Saab Marine Electronics TankRadar platform; integration with specific system versions or associated panels should be confirmed against the installed system.
✓ Intended for installation within a protected control cabinet or electronics enclosure onboard; mounting environment and interface requirements are subject to the original system design.
✓ Replacement of aging or failed PCB cards of this type is a common servicing requirement on vessels with long-running Saab TankRadar installations, helping restore full system functionality.
Marine Applications
✓ Crude oil tankers and product tankers requiring continuous, accurate radar-based ullage and tank level measurement across multiple cargo tanks.
✓ LNG and LPG carriers where precise tank gauging is critical to cargo operations, safety management, and regulatory compliance.
✓ Bulk carriers and chemical tankers utilising Saab TankRadar systems for integrated tank management and cargo planning support.
✓ FSOs, FPSOs, and offshore storage vessels where reliable tank level data feeds into cargo transfer, ballast, and stability management systems.
✓ Vessel control rooms and cargo control centres where the TankRadar system interfaces with integrated bridge or cargo management platforms.
Why Marine Engineers Choose
Marine engineers working with Saab TankRadar installations rely on genuine replacement PCB cards such as the SPA-M PB253 to restore system performance without the need for full panel replacement. Sourcing the correct control card minimises downtime during critical cargo operations and supports continuity of the existing system infrastructure.
Ideal For
Tankers, gas carriers, offshore floating storage units, bulk carriers, and any commercial vessel class operating a Saab Marine Electronics TankRadar system requiring PCB-level maintenance or repair.
Technical Support & Compliance
Technical assistance is available to support troubleshooting, commissioning, and integration of this PCB card within the installed TankRadar system. Remote diagnostic guidance, retrofit assessment, and onboard installation support can be arranged subject to confirmation of the specific system configuration. To confirm compatibility and suitability, buyers are advised to provide nameplate photographs, the full part number from the existing card, system model and software version details, any relevant wiring diagrams or drawings, and vessel name or IMO number where applicable. All compatibility assessments are subject to confirmation based on the information provided.
