Martechnic is Exhibiting at East Med Expo 2025

The East Med Marine and Offshore Exhibition is the most prestigious technical trade fair in the Eastern Mediterranean, tailored to the needs of the shipping industry. The biennial event will take place on the 24th and 25th of April 2025, in Limassol Cyprus.

Thanks to its exceptional format and ideal location, the exhibition brings together professionals from the marine and offshore sectors and offers an outstanding opportunity to exchange ideas, learn about the latest developments in the industry and showcase technological innovations.

Martechnic is delighted to participate again this year and looks forward to welcoming visitors at Booth 50.

We will be presenting our brand new, award-winning test device MT COOLANT CHECK which offers chemical-free and environmentally friendly assessment of the engine coolant quality. The sustainable test method is based on electrotechnical apparatus with specialized steel and stainless-steel electrodes to simulate an engine cooling system. The water-based coolants are analysed with just one measurement through a single coolant sample. The results (determination of remaining corrosion protection of the engine coolant in use) are delivered in just 15 minutes. Providing precise maintenance recommendations, the unnecessary coolant changes can be prevented. Thereby, the ship operators can implement more efficient maintenance schedule while supporting their environmental commitments.

Martechnic will also unveil its new test kit MT UREA CHECK. The test kit is designed for regular on-board quality monitoring of urea-based marine diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) AUS 40. A prompt on-board assessment is conducted in accordance with ISO 18611-1:2014 and helps to determine the following possible error sources:

1. Technical deviating specifications
2. Thermal instability (shelf life)
3. Dilution (possibly chemical contamination)

Martechnic to Support the IMPA Hamburg 2025 as a Sponsor

This year Martechnic is once again supporting the “IMPA Hamburg 2025” event as a sponsor.

The annual event is organized by the International Marine Purchasing Association (IMPA) and is an excellent opportunity for purchasing experts from the maritime industry to network, to exchange ideas and to connect sharing the common goal of commitment to sustainability and achieving efficiency in the supply chain.

The event will take place on April 10, 2025 at the Empire Riverside Hotel in Hamburg statt.

By attending, you will have the opportunity to engage with procurement professionals and participate in insightful discussions on purchasing and supply chain excellence.

During the event you will encounter the distinguished speakers with keynote presentations and experience a debate panel of senior procurement leaders with exciting discussions tackling the issues of supply chain management within the maritime industry.

As an established supplier and expert in oil quality management for over 25 years, Martechnic considers the effective implementation of fuel, lube and hydraulic oil condition monitoring programs in the global shipping sector to be crucial. These programs help to comply with international environmental standards and norms aimed at minimizing environmental impact, promoting sustainable development and conserving valuable resources.

Martechnic Adds New Test Kit “MT UREA CHECK” to Its Product Range

We are excited to reveal the successful launch of our new product - test kit “MT UREA CHECK”.

The test kit is designed for rapid on-board determination of urea concentration in marine diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) AUS 40 (aqueous urea solution at 40 % concentration). The quality and appropriate concentration of urea in AUS 40 is crucial for optimal performance of diesel engines with SCR (selective catalytic reduction) system. The prolonged storage of AUS 40 and high temperatures can lead to its gradual decomposition and thus have a negative effect on the urea concentration.

The customized test kit “MT UREA CHECK” enables measuring of urea concentration in AUS 40 by means of UREA REFRACTOMETER and determination of pH value with special INDICATOR PAPER.

Utilizing the test kit, the quality marine diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) AUS 40 can be assessed in accordance with ISO 18611-1:2014, and the following possible error sources can be promptly determined:

• Technical deviating specifications
• Thermal instability (shelf life)
• Dilution (possibly chemical contamination)
