On Board Water Testing & Services

Marine Testing Solutions now offer a new comprehensive on-board water testing service with associated services. This service is available to all ship management companies and vessel owners operating their vessels through any United Kingdom port.

All on-board sampling is performed by qualified water treatment engineers who will collect the necessary samples in sterile containers and will then send off the samples to our retained laboratory for analysis within the sensitive time frames required.
