Enclosed-space entry, cargo operations and pollution prevention all depend on instruments that read correctly. Bodursan arranges calibration of gas detectors and other measuring instruments on board or in the workshop, using certified calibration gases and reference equipment.
SOLAS regulation XI-1/7 requires ships to carry suitable portable atmosphere-testing instruments, and MARPOL equipment such as 15 ppm bilge alarms and oil discharge monitoring systems must be checked for accuracy. We issue a calibration certificate for each instrument so the records are ready for inspection.

Our Calibration Services
1. Gas Detection Instruments
- Portable detectors Calibration of O2, LEL, H2S, CO and other sensors on portable gas meters, with sensor replacement where they no longer respond.
- Fixed systems Calibration and alarm testing of fixed gas detection systems in cargo areas, pump rooms and other spaces.
- Inert gas instruments Oxygen analysers and recorders of inert gas systems checked against reference gas.
2. Pollution Prevention Equipment
- 15 ppm bilge alarms Accuracy check and calibration certificate for oily-water separator alarms.
- Oil discharge monitoring Accuracy checks of ODME oil content meters and flow meters on tankers.
3. General Measuring Instruments
- Pressure and temperature Calibration of pressure gauges, thermometers and transmitters used in machinery and cargo systems.
- Other instruments Hygrometers, tank sounding tapes and other on-board measuring devices on request.
4. Supplies and Crew Support
- Calibration gases Supply of certified calibration and bump-test gases with the right regulators.
- On-board routine Short guidance for the crew on bump testing and keeping calibration records between services.
Why Choose Bodursan for Instrument Calibration?
- One call, one port stay Safety service is planned around the same port call, transit or dry dock that our agency team is already handling, so the vessel does not lose extra time alongside.
- Survey-driven planning We work back from your certificate due dates and the surveyor’s attendance, so the paperwork is ready when the inspector boards.
- 24/7 from Tuzla Our operations desk is minutes from the Tuzla shipyards and covers Istanbul, the Straits, Yalova, Izmit Bay and other Turkish ports around the clock.
- Clear reporting Every job closes with service reports, certificates and photos sent to the superintendent and the master.
Send us the list of instruments with makes and models, and we will confirm what can be done on board and what needs to go to the workshop.
