Expert Service

🎯 Service Overview

Seaway provides comprehensive calibration and testing equipment services for marine vessels calling at Turkish ports. We supply SOLAS XI-1/7 compliant portable gas detectors, atmosphere testing instruments and complete calibration services ensuring your safety equipment meets all IMO and MED requirements.

Our services include supply of portable and fixed gas detection systems, on-board calibration services, annual certification, bump testing, sensor replacement and complete maintenance of all atmospheric testing equipment. We work with leading manufacturers including Martek Marine, Crowcon, RKI Instruments and other MED-approved suppliers to ensure your vessel has the most reliable safety equipment.

In compliance with SOLAS regulation XI-1/7, all vessels must carry appropriate portable atmosphere testing instruments capable of measuring oxygen, flammable gases, hydrogen sulfide and carbon monoxide. We ensure your equipment is properly calibrated, certified and ready for enclosed space entry operations and PSC inspections.

🔄 Our Calibration & Testing Process

Equipment Assessment

We assess all your gas detection equipment, review maintenance history, check calibration due dates and identify equipment requiring service or replacement.

Pre-Calibration Testing

All instruments undergo pre-calibration bump tests to verify sensor response, alarm functionality, battery condition and overall operational status before calibration.

Calibration & Adjustment

Using certified calibration gases, we calibrate each sensor to manufacturer specifications, adjust alarm setpoints, verify accuracy and ensure all functions operate correctly.

Post-Calibration Verification

After calibration, we perform comprehensive functional tests including leak checks, alarm verification, data logging review and complete performance validation.

Certification & Documentation

We issue MED-approved calibration certificates, update equipment logs, provide maintenance recommendations and deliver complete documentation for PSC inspections and audits.

Frequently Asked Questions — Calibration & Testing Services

Answers to common questions about our calibration & testing services services.

What instruments and equipment do you calibrate onboard vessels?

We calibrate pressure gauges, temperature gauges, flow meters, level gauges, thermometers, manometers, differential pressure transmitters, safety valves (set pressure testing), oxygen analysers, CO2 analysers, gas detection instruments, ultrasonic thickness gauges, and other marine instrumentation used in engine rooms, cargo systems, and safety systems.

Are your calibrations traceable to national and international standards?

Yes. All calibrations we perform are traceable to national metrology standards (TUBITAK/UME in Turkey) and ultimately to SI units via an unbroken chain of calibrated reference standards. Calibration certificates state the traceability chain, measurement uncertainty, and are issued in compliance with ISO/IEC 17025 requirements.

Do you provide calibration certificates accepted by class societies?

Yes. Our calibration certificates are accepted by all major classification societies including Lloyd's Register, DNV, Bureau Veritas, ABS, ClassNK, and RINA. Certificates state before and after values, measurement uncertainty, and are signed by a qualified calibration technician. Copies are available in digital format for vessel records.

Can you calibrate equipment on board the vessel without removal?

Wherever possible, we perform on-board (in-situ) calibration to minimise disruption to vessel operations. Many pressure and temperature instruments can be calibrated in place using portable reference standards. Some instruments requiring more complex calibration may need to be sent to our ashore calibration facility.

How often should safety valves and pressure gauges be calibrated?

Classification society rules and manufacturer recommendations generally require safety valve testing and pressure gauge calibration at annual surveys and at each special survey. However, best practice and many ISM SMS systems require annual calibration of critical instrumentation. We can advise on the appropriate interval for each instrument type based on its application and the applicable rules.
