On 2012 SMM, during 04 – 07 September, Martechnic® will again exhibit in the same place as on the last exhibitions. This year it will be the 25th anniversary of this major technical show in shipping industry at Hamburg fair. Should you come to attend it, it would be our pleasure to welcome you at our booth, in Hall A1, Stand 1.126.Improving sensor efficiency: The AHHOI water in oil sensor works in a bypass, and so it is possible to connect the system to multiple sampling points. Martechni®c has developed an intelligent switch for this purpose, called Manifold, which is able to manage up to 4 different sample streams. The oil gets measured serially, with results displayed and logged accordingly. Ressources get used most efficiently at only slightly higher investment. More...
Enhancing bunker volume with air results in what got named a Capuccino Bunker, and this practise is known since many years. Recent reports indicate that this practise experiences a revival, by improved means even, as obviously nitrogen gets used for this purpose. Nitrogen will stay stable within the bunker for considerable time, so that a reduced volume becomes noticeable only long upon completion of the bunker process. You may become aware of the issue by on board portable density testing (more...), or guard yourself by a stationary bunker control meters measuring on gravity basis. More...
Every year, the tekom (German association for technical communication and information management) awards exceptional technical documentation and instruction manuals. Everybody may apply, and 15 companies got awarded in 2011. The best mark got awarded for the ZINDEL AG, for the instructional manual made the AHHOI water in oil sensor system ordered by Martechnic®.

Low sulphur fuels create new challenges in engine operation, deriving from reduced lubricity of very low viscosity marine gas oil, despite being on-spec according to since 2010 in place ISO fuel specification 8217. To assist engineers in dealing with this challenge, Martechnic has modified its falling ball viscosity meters to measure also in the very low range of 1 - 10 cSt, with the JUNG CHECK (MOD.) and VISCO DENS PLUS, so that the potential risk from reduced lubricity can get evaluated right on the spot.
WiO CHECK Water-in-oil test kit adopted for use in latest maintenance programs:
Tailshaft monitoring allows prolongation of exchanging stern tube sealing, provided specified requirements are met. WiO CHECK employs suitable equipment in an explicit option, with the reagent not restricted for transport to secure a maximum reach even to remote destinations while offering possibility for consolidation with regular supplies as well. This combination of equipment offers a cost effective service to add on value for the ship owner's investment.
Martechnic® are pleased to announce the successful completion of the POSSEIDON project which was focused on developing an integrated Sensor system for monitoring lube oil conditions in marine engines. The project which was conducted under the EC Sixth framework programme involved a consortium of eight partners from across Europe in a 3 1/2 year program of research that culminated in the successful testing of a demonstrator system aboard an ocean-going vessel. This development will lead to greater security for ships and their crew by facilitating constant surveillance of lube oil conditions and provide valuable input for condition-based monitoring regimes and economic benefits for the owner/operator.

| WA-SOL® - Water-in-Oil Reagent Composition Kit |
By announcing the newly developed WA-SOL® reagent kit, Martechnic® introduces a reagent breakthrough - and consequently the next generation of water-in-oil reagent, as this reagent is
NOT CLASSIFIED AS DANGEROUS GOOD FOR TRANSPORT as per UN Model regulations.
With this alternative in the product range, fully compatible with existing Martechnic® equipment, Martechnic® can offer new options for supply, both cost- and time wise. Once ready the mixture can get applied for testing just as Martechnic's® WIO or WT05 Solutions. One WA-SOL® reagent composition kit contains:
