The marine industry is one of the safest forms of transportation, but this safety doesn't just happen. The industry requires large amounts of specialist equipment that's designed to support the demands of the environment. At GNW Instrumentation, we supply high-quality maritime instrumentation and marine measuring equipment that's designed to support the demanding environments that marine, offshore and ship-based operations bring. 

Instrumentation requirements in maritime and offshore environments

Standard industrial equipment is not designed with the unique challenges of marine operations in mind; our ship instrumentation is built for such challenges: 

• High humidity and saltwater exposure.
• Mechanical vibration and shock from engines and waves.
• Wide temperature fluctuations.
• Limited access for maintenance and calibration.

Our offshore instrumentation is made to perform in these conditions. This means corrosion-resistant materials, robust housings, and precise measurement performance. 

Measuring equipment used on ships and marine facilities 

Having the correct marine measuring equipment in place is vital for effective monitoring across a vessel or a marine facility. We provide a range of equipment and instruments that are used for: 

• Monitoring pressure in hydraulic, pneumatic, and fuel systems 
• Tracking temperature in engines, storage tanks, and pipework
• Measuring weight and load for cargo handling and onboard operations 
• General inspection, testing, and system verification 

Our equipment is used across cargo vessels, tankers, offshore platforms, shipyards, and port operations, ensuring performance, efficiency, and safety at every stage. 

Pressure, temperature, and weighing solutions for marine applications

Pressure gauges 

Accuracy in pressure measurement is vital for safe operations. Our marine pressure gauges are designed specifically for demanding environments where corrosion and high-vibrations are the norm. The use of digital pressure gauges is becoming a standard due to the clear readings, improved accuracy, and advanced features. We offer both standard marine pressure gauges and digital pressure gauges suited for marine use. 

Temperature 

Monitoring temperature across operations is a key safety requirement of marine vessels and offshore instrumentation. Careful temperature monitoring helps prevent overheating, system failure, and product degradation. We supply a variety of thermometers and temperature measurement solutions built specifically for the marine industry. 

Weighing solutions 

Accurate weight and load measurement is essential for safe and efficient cargo handling, stability management, and general onboard operations. Our industrial marine weighing equipment delivers precise measurement even in dynamic environments, enabling teams to manage loads with confidence.

Reliability and durability in harsh marine environments 

The importance of using specialist equipment in the marine industry is undeniable, but equipment also needs to be reliable and durable to perform correctly in the environments they are in. Our solutions:

• Resist vibration, salt, and corrosion, ensuring durable service long term when at sea. 
• Clear, easy-to-read displays for low-light and confined spaces.
• Proven accuracy to support operational and safety standards. 

Durability and reliable equipment are two of the main aspects that go into our design process. This helps reduce downtime, maintenance costs, and the risk of measurement-related failures. 

Calibration and compliance support for maritime equipment 

At GNW, we are specialists in all things calibration. Alongside our extensive product ranges, we provide recalibration services for several industries and understand the importance of accuracy and compliance of equipment. We can provide extensive knowledge and guidance on calibration requirements and support you in maintaining accurate, traceable measurements across operations. Our dedicated team is happy to answer any questions regarding calibration requirements to help you maintain compliance throughout.
