The Smit Gas System Inert Gas Generator is a vital safety component for modern tankers, designed to keep cargo operations secure by controlling oxygen levels inside cargo tanks. By generating clean, low-oxygen inert gas, the system minimizes the risk of fire and explosion during loading, discharge, and tank protection operations.
Built on proven marine engineering principles, this inert gas generator combines robust combustion technology with efficient cooling and scrubbing stages to ensure the gas delivered to cargo tanks meets strict safety limits. Continuous monitoring, alarms, and automatic safety functions give crews confidence that the system is operating as intended at all times.
To maintain reliability and regulatory compliance, regular inspection, testing, and calibration are essential. Our service scope covers everything from health checks and full functional testing to calibration, certification, repair, and complete commissioning. All services are available on board, reducing downtime and ensuring vessels remain inspection-ready.
We support Smit Gas System inert gas generators across major European and Mediterranean ports, offering fast response and experienced marine technicians wherever your vessel operates. From routine maintenance to urgent repairs, our goal is to keep your inert gas system fully compliant with IMO SOLAS, ISM Code, and OCIMF SIRE 2.0 expectations.
A properly maintained inert gas generator is not just a regulatory requirement—it is a cornerstone of safe cargo operations and crew protection. With expert service and full documentation, you can sail with confidence knowing your inert gas system is performing at its best.

Smit Gas System Inert Gas Generator ensures safe cargo operations by maintaining controlled oxygen levels, protecting vessels, crews, and cargo while meeting international marine safety regulations.

The Inert Gas Generator (IGG) by Smit Gas System is a marine safety system designed to produce clean, low-oxygen inert gas for cargo tank blanketing and purging. It plays a critical role in preventing explosions and maintaining a non-flammable atmosphere on board tankers and gas carriers.

Designed with decades of marine expertise, Smit Gas System inert gas generators are built to deliver dependable performance even in the most demanding operating conditions.

The system is engineered to support safe cargo handling by consistently maintaining oxygen levels well below flammable limits.

The inert gas generator produces inert gas through controlled fuel combustion, followed by cooling, scrubbing, and oxygen reduction before delivery to cargo tanks.

Integrated monitoring and safety controls ensure continuous compliance with vessel safety parameters and operational alarms.
