Maritime Sector: Keep your equipment running, wherever the sea takes you

28 / 11 / 2025

Dear clients and partners,

At sea, reliability is not optional, it is vital.

Engines, hydraulic circuits, and onboard systems operate under harsh and unpredictable conditions. Anticipation and prevention are therefore essential to ensure safety, performance, and continuity of operations.

Why is lubricant condition monitoring essential at sea?

In the maritime environment, a single mechanical failure can lead to severe downtime, costly repairs, and safety risks.

Regular oil condition monitoring enables crews to:

  • Detect early signs of mechanical wear before failure occurs
  • Identify critical contamination (seawater, particles, soot, debris, etc.)
  • Extend lubricant service life and reduce replenishment frequency
  • Adjust engine lubrication optimally to ensure efficient performance and prevent component fatigue
  • Maintain safety and ensure continuous operational readiness

GESERCO solutions: fast and reliable oil diagnostics, directly onboard

With GESERCO’s portable test kits, crews can carry out complete oil and fluid analyses directly on the vessel, no laboratory required. Results are delivered in minutes, enabling informed, immediate decisions and proactive maintenance.

  • Fast and intuitive: no technical expertise needed
  • Reliable and accurate: performance proven for more than 50 years
  • Comprehensive: wear detection, water contamination, degradation, viscosity, and more

For every ship. For every mission.

To meet the demanding reliability and responsiveness requirements of maritime operations, GESERCO offers a complete range of onboard diagnostic instruments for oil and fluid condition monitoring.
