Marine



The safety requirements in the shipping industry are tightly regulated, both internationally and through demands of coast guards in territorial waters. Third party organisations such as Lloyds Register of Shipping ensure the equipment carried complies with regulations such as Marine Equipment Directives (MED)

Ship owners, builders, managers and operators have made use of our experience to advise and supply portable and fixed gas detection equipment that will ensure compliance with the international standards.

In addition to the range of instruments GMI can provide onboard calibration systems to ensure compliance, CD-ROM based training packages for on board training and an international network of distributors providing support on all the main shipping routes.
