Are you still using gas
detectors at the end of
their service life?

Gas detectors are vital equipment that can
have life or death consequences. Use them
properly to protect crew members from accidents.

SCROLL

Maintenance of vessels in dry dock is mandatory twice every five years*
*Dry dock cycles are specified in SOLAS 74/88 Regulation I/10(a)(v) (Ref: Maritime_Circular_No13_ -Dry_Dock_Extension_Policy).

Do you ensure that the gas detectors onboard the ship are inspected on an routine basis?
Gas detectors and other precision equipment generally have a service life of 10 years in a clean environment. It is recommended that gas detectors be inspected, repaired and replaced by manufacturers during the ship inspection twice every five years.**
**Compulsory classification/inspection of ships in drydock (for NK) as stipulated in the Steel Shipping Regulations "020_part_b_j_2022".

Continued use of old gas detectors without maintenance is dangerous. They may fail to detect gas properly due to stain, dust or physical damage.

To ensure
the safety

Pay attention to support termination information. It is recommended that any gas detector at the end of its service life be replaced with the latest model for the purpose of ensuring maintenance, inspection and the reliable supply of spare parts.
