At Marine Gas Supplies, we work with vessels and marine engineers across the globe — from busy ports in Asia to offshore vessels in the North Sea. No matter where you are, the challenges you face when sourcing calibration gases tend to follow a familiar pattern.
Over time, we’ve seen five key pain points crop up again and again in the industry. The good news? We’ve built our business around solving them.
Here’s how we tackle these head-on, so your vessel operations don’t miss a beat.
1️⃣ Not Enough Time to Deliver?
Time is critical in the marine world. Vessels are constantly on the move, with tight schedules and limited windows for taking deliveries. That’s where we shine.
🛰️ Our Solution:
We track your vessel’s movements and arrange delivery to the next port of call, wherever that may be. Our team is trained to think ahead and adapt quickly. Whether your vessel is in Rotterdam today and Singapore next week, we’re already working on the best delivery route.
We know the importance of flexibility — and we do everything we can to avoid delays and hit your turnaround targets.
2️⃣ Long Lead Times on Certain Gases
Some suppliers quote 3–4 week lead times for calibration gases, which just isn’t realistic when you’re managing multiple systems onboard and need replacements quickly.
📦 Our Solution:
We hold stock of the most commonly requested calibration gases used in the marine industry, including those for:
- Portable gas detectors
- Fixed gas systems
- Scrubber monitoring equipment
That means you’re not stuck waiting. You get exactly what you need, when you need it — not weeks later.
3️⃣ Slow Response from Account Managers
We’ve all experienced the frustration of unanswered emails and quote requests that seem to vanish into thin air. Time is money — and your time matters to us.
📞 Our Solution:
At MGS, every client is assigned a dedicated account manager who will support you from RFQ to delivery. No 5–10 hour response times. No automated replies.
We pick up the phone. We respond to your emails. Quickly, clearly, and with purpose — because communication is at the heart of what we do.
4️⃣ Complicated Dangerous Goods (DG) Paperwork
Shipping calibration gases involves strict DG compliance. If you’ve ever tried to handle the documentation yourself, you’ll know how much of a minefield it can be — especially when shipping internationally.
✍️ Our Solution:
We handle all Dangerous Goods documentation in-house. You simply appoint your preferred local agent, and we take care of the rest — from paperwork to labeling and packing, all fully compliant with IMO, IATA, and regional requirements.
It’s one less headache for your crew, and one more job off your to-do list.
5️⃣ Lack of Clarity on What’s Needed
Not sure which gas is compatible with your system? You’re not alone. We often speak with crew or purchasing teams who want to get it right but don’t have access to technical specs.
🧪 Our Solution:
We offer technical support to ensure you’re ordering the correct gas for the correct system — whether that’s a portable monitor or an onboard fixed installation.
Our knowledgeable team can guide you based on:
- System make and model
- Required calibration points
- Regulatory compliance
We believe in proactive support — not just supplying a product, but making sure it works for your application.
