Kittiwake have written a comprehensive marine hygiene log book and have combined this with all the equipment required to create the Marine Hygiene Test Kits. Simple, regular testing of the above systems for micro-organisms like legionella, coliforms, e.coli and pseudomonas will reduce risks, help keep employees healthy and ultimately save lives.

The World Health Organisation (WHO) in line with the International Health Regulations 2005, have drafted guidelines on ship sanitation which detail the systems that require monitoring, the method and frequency of monitoring and record keeping requirements. The draft guidelines were created in close collaboration with the International Labour organisation (ILO) and the International Maritime Organisation (IMO).

• Safely control water and air borne bacteria
• Designed for IMO compliance testing
• Lower risk of operational down time
• Detects Coliforms/E.Coli to 1 CFU per 100ml
• Disinfection/descaling chemicals included
• Wall Mounted Cabinet Available

Kittiwake has developed the Marine Hygiene Test Kits to aid with the monitoring of ships water systems. Passenger ships, general cargo vessels, fishing vessels, naval vessels, tankers and rigs are all required to conform. Monitoring is required on supplies from port, water production, treatment and distribution (e g showers), swimming and spa pools, waste disposal and air ductwork systems.
