Microbial Testing and Sampling for Supply Boats and Standby Vessels
Safeguarding potable water and diesel fuel quality for supply boats and standby vessels, with bacteria testing services.
Intertek microbiology expertise ensures potable water and diesel on board supply boats and standby vessels is of the quality demanded. Cleanliness of drinking water and quality of diesel on board supply boats and standby vessels is of great importance to the crew, the companies involved, and those to whom it is eventually supplied.
Crew and offshore personnel alike rely on the quality of potable water to be of a standard acceptable for drinking, as any ‘unclean’ water consumed could lead to outbreaks of illness both on board vessels and offshore installations.
Usage of poor quality diesel can lead to problems once it has been discharged onto an installation, due to the sensitive nature of machinery and equipment, as well as on the vessel itself.
Hydrocarbon contamination of potable water tanks can also be an issue. Intertek clients are made aware of any potential problems by having water tanks sampled for hydrocarbons. The sampling and analysis of water and diesel should be performed on a regular basis in order to ensure water quality is of acceptable standards.
Intertek personnel are trained to take the samples in an efficient and undisruptive manner. Once delivered to our laboratories, qualified staff perform accurate analyses on the samples, and provide speedy results either via fax, e-mail or over the phone, as well as a final formal report.
