Gas analyzer accuracy and alarms are verified onboard.Reliable ODME Calibration & Support Onboard: S‑3000 Service in Europe and the Mediterranean

The KSB Seil Seres S‑3000 Oil Discharge Monitoring Equipment (ODME) is a critical system installed on oil tankers to measure, control, and record oil content in ballast water before it is discharged at sea. Designed to meet IMO/MARPOL requirements, the S‑3000 ensures that oil content stays below regulated limits, protecting the marine environment while keeping your vessel compliant.

This advanced ODME system includes a controller, oil content meter, sampling pump, PPM measurer, pressure switch, and hydraulic controls. It features self‑cleaning, automatic zeroing, GPS position tracking, PPM and total oil alarms, and optional multi channel monitoring for precise analysis.

According to international inspection standards, an ODME must be maintained and calibrated regularly. Inspectors often check that calibration certificates are valid and onboard records for maintenance, tests, and calibration are up to date. This aligns with maritime inspection and survey guidelines requiring systematic accuracy verification and documentation retention.

Our onboard service covers calibration checks, preventive maintenance, troubleshooting, and full support for the S‑3000 ODME system. We operate across key maritime hubs in Spain, Gibraltar, Bulgaria, Turkey, Romania, Netherlands, France, Germany, and Italy, and in major ports including Algeciras, Valencia, Barcelona, Bilbao, Rotterdam, Antwerp, Hamburg, Genoa, Piraeus, Varna, and more. Whether your vessel is calling at the Atlantic, Mediterranean, or Black Sea ports, our certified technicians will ensure your ODME system performs reliably and meets all inspection criteria.

Keep your operations efficient and compliant with professional ODME calibration and service  onboard, wherever your vessel sails.

ODME Vaf Instruments Mark6 servicing calibration check

Keeping your vessel compliant with international marine pollution regulations requires reliable monitoring equipment and timely onboard service. The VAF Instruments Mark 6 Printer Version Oil Discharge Monitoring Equipment (ODME) is a trusted system designed for continuous oil discharge monitoring during ballast and slop water operations, with data printing capability for regulatory checks. This ODME meets the strict standards of IMO Resolution MEPC.108(49) and MEPC.240(65) for biofuel compatibility and oil content measurement, using a patented multiple scattering light technique for precise detection.

The Mark 6 ODME continuously samples and measures oil content in discharge water, automatically controls valves and records essential data for port state and class inspections. It’s built for accuracy, reliability, and ease of operation, and is widely used on tankers and oil‑handling vessels to maintain environmental compliance.

According to IMO and classification requirements, ODME systems must have valid calibration certificates onboard. Calibration should follow the manufacturer’s instructions and is generally recommended annually, with formal calibration (or sensor renewal) at intervals not exceeding five years to ensure continued accuracy and compliance during statutory surveys. Inspectors verify calibration status and certificates during SIRE, PSC, and renewal inspections.

Our expert marine service team offers onboard ODME support in key countries including Spain, Gibraltar, Bulgaria, Turkey, Romania, Netherlands, France, Germany, and Italy and numerous major ports such as Algeciras, Valencia, Barcelona, Marseille, Antwerp, Rotterdam, Hamburg, Genoa, Piraeus, Varna, Istanbul, and many more.

We provide calibration, commissioning, maintenance, repair, spare parts supply, and certification support directly onboard — minimizing downtime and helping you stay compliant and inspection‑ready wherever you operate. Contact us to schedule service at your next port call.

ODME measurement and alarms are verified onboard.

The Marsen ODME-2000 is an advanced Oil Discharge Monitoring Equipment system designed to ensure ships comply with international discharge regulations while protecting the marine environment. This system continuously measures the oil content of ballast and slop water before overboard discharge, accurately tracking discharge quality and automatically managing control actions based on real-time data.

Built around a robust controller and oil content meter paired with a hydraulic package, sampling pump and motor, the ODM-2000 uses differential pressure flow measurement and GPS input to calculate and regulate oil discharge. Its self-cleaning design and intrinsically safe components reduce maintenance needs, while fast response and vibration-insensitive operation support reliable performance even in challenging sea conditions.

In line with IMO and MARPOL Annex I requirements, oil discharge must meet strict limits (oil content below regulatory thresholds and proper recording of discharge data such as rate, time and ship position). Continuous records must be kept onboard and presented during port state control and classification surveys. Regular calibration and verification of the oil content meter are necessary to maintain accuracy and compliance. Classification societies typically require calibration at renewal surveys, and industry practice recommends annual checks with full recalibration every five years for optimal performance.

Our ODME services are available on board vessels calling at major ports across Spain, Gibraltar, Netherlands, France, Germany, Italy, Bulgaria, Turkey and Romania, with port stops including Algeciras, Valencia, Barcelona, Marseille, Rotterdam, Hamburg, Genoa, Piraeus, Varna, Izmir and many others. Whether you need commissioning, functional testing, calibration, or verification support, we help ensure your Marsen ODM-2000 meets inspection standards and operates reliably throughout your voyages.

UTI Meter repair and calibration service carried out on board a tanker ship with detailed inspection, testing and verification.

Accurate measurement of tank liquid levels and temperature is essential for safe, efficient cargo operations on tankers and marine vessels. The MMC International / MMC Asia Ullage Temperature Instrument (Model D‑2401‑2) is a trusted, handheld solution designed for manual tank sounding and reliable temperature profiling. It combines ullage and temperature functions in one robust tool, making it ideal for restricted and closed gauging conditions.

This instrument reads ullage (distance from tank top to liquid surface) and temperature at any required depth. The electronic probe emits distinct audible tones when it detects petroleum or water, helping operators determine liquid level changes quickly and confidently. Temperature values appear clearly on the built‑in LED display, offering accuracy within tight tolerances, so crews can make timely decisions based on real conditions.

Designed with safety and durability in mind, the UTI D‑2401‑2 features a conductive, calibrated tape and sensor system built to withstand rugged marine environments. It operates from a standard 9‑volt battery and supports multiple tape lengths to fit a range of tank sizes.

Marine industry guidelines, including SOLAS and SIRE 2.0, emphasize that portable measurement tools must be calibrated in line with manufacturer instructions, and suitable procedures must be in place for calibration and testing before use. Proper calibration ensures accuracy and supports compliance with planned maintenance requirements.

Our specialised service teams can perform on‑board calibration, inspection, and maintenance for UTI instruments at major ports and regions including Spain, Gibraltar, Bulgaria, Turkey, Romania, the Netherlands, France, Germany, and Italy. Visit us in ports such as Algeciras, Valencia, Barcelona, Rotterdam, Hamburg, Genoa, Piraeus, and more for professional support.

Ensure your gauges are reliable, compliant, and ready for every voyage.
