2008: V!SA Excels in Harsh Environments
Our distributor
in New Zealand, Lordco CWG (NZ) Ltd, have informed us
that a contractor recently dropped their V!SA instrument
into a sump, which was filled with 3 metres of water.
Once retrieving the instrument and drying it off, it
only required a simple change of filters and was up
and running again within 30 minutes. The contractor
was not allowed to work without the unit and would have
had to close the site down for a lengthy time, had the
instrument not worked. This is a prime example of the
superior ruggedness of the GMI V!SA in harsh environments,
something which is a key factor when choosing gas detection
instrumentation.

June 2008: Odfjell SE Update
It is now over a year since GMI provided Odfjell
SE with their first Oxygas 500. Odfjell are one of the
worlds leading chemical and bulk liquid shipping carrier
companies, with a current fleet of 92 vessels and 18
new builds on the way. The requirement from Odfjell
was to equip 50 of their vessels with 2 instruments
for hot tank works and inerting purposes. Along with
some of our competitors, our Norwegian distributor,
Vestteknikk, was invited to present GMI's Oxygas 500
to Odfjell. The feedback was good and Odfjell decided
to trial the Oxygas 500 for 6 months, which was very
successful. The instrument's reliability, ease of use,
and the extensive world-wide sales and service support
were the main factors that made Odfjell chose GMI. We
have since supplied all 50 vessels, and we are also
supplying all their future new builds. We would like
to thank Vestteknikk for all their hard work.
May 2008: V!sa Saves 6 Firefighters From Explosion
GMI'S V!SA instrument has been praised for
saving 6 firefighters from a potentially deadly blast
in Hong Kong. The V!SA was used to indicate that there
was a substantial gas leak, which stopped the firefighters
from entering the area where the explosion occurred.
As you can see from the local newspaper article below,
the main picture in the centre shows the instrument
in action, being used by the firefighters.
March 2008: GMI Supplies Hong Kong Fire Service with
100 V!SA Instruments
GMI is pleased to announce the sale
of 100 V!SA's to the Hong Kong Fire Services Department.
The V!sa underwent rigerous trials against our major
competitors instruments, and was chosen due its robustness,
ease of use, reliability, and the fact that it is not
effected by high frequency radio waves.
We would like to thank our distributor
in Hong Kong, Promat Ltd, for all their efforts.
