1. UTI Meter (Ullage Temperature Interface) – Honeywell Gtex/Rtex, Tanktech TFC-02, and MMC Complete Guide
Introduction
The UTI Meter is a portable precision instrument designed for accurate measurement of ullage (the air space in the tank), temperature, and the interface between oil and water within shipboard tanks. UTI Meters play an indispensable role in cargo management, custody transfer, and regulatory compliance throughout India, Singapore, and Malaysia and Indonesia.
For cargo tankers and oil & chemical carriers, UTI (Ullage Temperature Interface) meters are essential for measuring ullage, temperature, and oil-water interface levels with high accuracy.
Top brands like Honeywell Gtex/Rtex, Tanktech TFC-01 (T2000 Series), and MMC (Portable UTI Meters) are trusted worldwide for cargo inspection, custody transfer, and tank calibration.
In this guide, we explain why UTI meters are important, key brand features, calibration requirements, and best practices for marine operators.
Why UTI Meters Are Essential for Tankers?
Accurate Ullage & Cargo Measurement – Ensures correct cargo quantity during loading & discharge.
Custody Transfer Compliance – Mandatory for charterers, surveyors, and terminal inspections.
Detects Water Interface Levels – Prevents contamination of cargo with seawater or other liquids.
Temperature Accuracy – Correct cargo temperature is vital for volume calculation (API tables).
Compliance with Marine & Oil Industry Standards – Meets API MPMS Chapter 3 & 17, IMO, and OCIMF requirements.

2. Oil Mist Detectors (OMD): Schaller Automation, Kidde Graviner, Daihatsu & Specs Corporation – Complete Guide
Introduction
Oil Mist Detectors (OMDs) are essential safety systems designed to detect and alert operators to the presence of oil mist within marine engine crankcases. An undetected increase in oil mist can signal overheating of bearings or other internal components, posing a serious risk of engine fires or explosions. Reliable OMD systems are mandated by IMO regulations for most large vessels and are a cornerstone of shipboard safety protocols in India, Singapore, and Malaysia and Indonesia.
In the marine and power generation industries, Oil Mist Detectors (OMDs) are critical safety devices designed to detect oil mist in crankcases and engine spaces, preventing catastrophic crankcase explosions.
Leading brands such as Schaller Automation (Visatron Series), Kidde Graviner (MK5/ MK6/ MK7), Daihatsu (MD-9M. OR MD-SX), and Specs Corporation (OMD Series) are widely used across commercial vessels and offshore platforms.
This guide explains why OMDs are essential, how they work, and the importance of regular calibration and maintenance.
Why Oil Mist Detectors Are Essential?
Prevention of Crankcase Explosions – Detects oil mist concentration early, preventing fire or explosion in main and auxiliary engines.
Compliance with Class & SOLAS Requirements – IMO and Class societies require OMDs for engines above a specific cylinder volume.
Engine Protection & Safety – Immediate alarm ensures early engine shutdown, reducing damage and repair costs.

How Oil Mist Detectors Work?
Common OMD Faults & Troubleshooting
Fault | Possible Cause | Solution |
False alarms | Dirty optical sensors / clogged filters | Clean optical chamber, replace filters |
No suction | Worn-out pump | Replace or overhaul vacuum pump |
Continuous alarm after reset | Sensor calibration drift | Re-calibrate or replace sensor |
No power | Loose wiring or PCB failure | Inspect wiring, replace PCB if necessary |

3. OWS 15PPM Bilge Monitor Calibration – Deckma, Georim, Brannstrom, Jowa, and Rivertrace Complete Guide
Introduction
Oily Water Separator (OWS) systems, integrated with a 15ppm Oil Content Monitor, are essential for separating oil from water in bilge discharges and ensuring that only treated water is released overboard per international maritime regulations.
Whether your vessel is equipped with a Deckma OMD-2005, Georim GBA-155, Brannstrom Bilgmon 488, Jowa Seaguard, or Rivertrace OCD CM15 PPM & Smart Bilge Monitor, one thing remains the same – accurate calibration is mandatory for compliance with MARPOL Annex I regulations.
IMO regulations strictly require bilge water discharge to remain below 15 PPM. That means your OWS 15PPM bilge monitor must be calibrated and certified annually to avoid PSC detentions, Class survey failures, and costly environmental fines.
In this guide, we’ll cover why calibration is critical, how it’s done, and best practices for all major OWS brands.
Why 15PPM Bilge Monitor Calibration is Essential?
Brand-Specific OWS 15PPM Calibration Overview
Standard 15PPM Bilge Monitor Calibration Procedure (All Brands)
When to Calibrate Your OWS Bilge Monitor?
Best Practices for All OWS Brands
Flush with clean water after every use to prevent oil build-up
Keep OEM-approved spare parts onboard
Always use brand-approved calibration fluids
Maintain detailed logbooks for easy PSC clearance

5. ODME – Oil Discharge Monitoring Equipment
Sales & Service Experts for IMO-Compliant ODME Systems Including Biofuel Monitoring (MEPC.240(65))
Oil Discharge Monitoring Equipment (ODME) is a vital system for marine vessels, especially oil and chemical tankers, ensuring compliance with MARPOL regulations by monitoring and controlling the concentration of oil in discharged ballast or slop water.
Looking for a reliable ODME (Oil Discharge Monitoring Equipment) system or expert service support? We specialize in the sales and servicing of ODME systems, ensuring full compliance with MARPOL Annex I, MEPC.108(49), and the latest MEPC.240(65) guidelines for biofuel cargo monitoring.
What is ODME and Why is It Required?
An ODME system is a mandatory device used onboard tankers to monitor, control, and record the discharge of oily or chemical-laden water from cargo tanks into the sea. It ensures vessels comply with the 15 ppm discharge limit and follow pollution prevention protocols set by the International Maritime Organization (IMO).
With the rise of biofuels in marine transportation, MEPC.240(65) mandates that ODME systems be capable of detecting and recording discharges related to biofuel cargoes, including FAME blends and bio-derived oils.
