Petrik Naval provides onboard calibration of ODME HART flowmeters at the ports of Cartagena and Huelva.

The ODME flow meter is a critical component of the ship’s oil discharge monitoring and control system. Accurate flow measurement is essential not only for operational reliability, but also for meeting environmental and regulatory expectations during inspections and vetting.

Over time, differential pressure transmitters and orifice plates can drift due to vibration, temperature changes, and normal wear in engine room conditions. When calibration is overdue or performance is unstable, vessels face increased risk during Port State Control inspections, audits, and SIRE 2.0 reviews.

Our onboard service is designed to remove that risk. We provide professional calibration, troubleshooting, repair, and commissioning of ODME flow meters directly on board, minimizing downtime and avoiding unnecessary equipment replacement. Functional testing, signal verification, and documentation are completed during the visit to support compliance and vessel records.

With service coverage across major European and Mediterranean ports, our technicians can attend vessels during normal port stays, planned maintenance, or urgent situations. Whether the system requires routine annual calibration or corrective intervention after an alarm or inspection finding, we focus on restoring confidence in the ODME system quickly and efficiently.

Keeping ODME equipment properly calibrated is not just a regulatory obligation. It is a practical step toward smoother inspections, cleaner operations, and peace of mind for the crew and technical management.

Oxygen measurement in process lines is verified onboard.

Marine vessels equipped with Wärtsilä Moss inert gas generator systems rely on precise oxygen measurement to maintain safe atmospheres in cargo tanks and piping. An oxygen analyzer or gas detector is critical for ensuring that the inert gas produced meets safety requirements and keeps oxygen levels low to prevent combustion and explosions. Our team specializes in on‑board calibration, repair, and commissioning of these analyzers and detectors in key maritime regions including Spain, Gibraltar, Bulgaria, Turkey, Romania, Netherlands, France, Germany, and Italy.

The oxygen analyzer used with inert gas systems measures the percentage of oxygen in the gas to confirm that tanks are properly inerted and safe for cargo operations. Accurate readings are essential, especially during loading, discharge, purging, and ballasting operations. Calibration ensures that the analyzer makes correct measurements and meets marine safety expectations. According to marine inspection standards such as SIRE 2.0 and inert gas system inspection guidance, fixed oxygen analyzers should be calibrated within 24 hours before starting inert gas operations and maintained within the vessel’s planned maintenance system.

Our engineers can perform thorough on‑board calibration using traceable calibration gases, verify span and zero accuracy, and align indicators with manufacturer specifications. We also handle diagnostic repair, sensor replacement, and full commissioning after installation or overhaul. Services are available at major ports such as Algeciras, Valencia, Barcelona, Tarragona, Cartagena, Bilbao, Gijón, A Coruña, Vigo, Las Palmas, Santa Cruz de Tenerife, and international hubs like Lisbon, Rotterdam, Antwerp, Hamburg, Marseille, Genoa, Venice, Piraeus, Varna, and more.

Keep your inert gas oxygen analysis accurate and compliant with ship inspection and safety regulations with professional support wherever your vessel calls our ports.

Fixed gas detector response is tested onboard.

When it comes to safeguarding people, equipment, and operations, accurate gas detection is essential.
