Ocean Safety has strengthened its position as a specialist safety partner to commercial and operational marine sectors with a fully integrated gas servicing and supply capability, supporting critical onboard systems across shipping, offshore and industrial environments.
Built on decades of technical expertise, following the integration of Admiral Fire Engineering in the 1990s, the company’s Saxon Wharf facility offers a dedicated facility and delivers end-to-end testing, refilling and maintenance for a wide range of gas cylinders and systems – many of which sit behind the scenes but are fundamental to vessel safety and operational readiness.
From liferaft inflation cylinders and breathing apparatus to fire suppression systems and beverage-grade carbon dioxide (CO2), Ocean Safety provides a structured, compliance-led service designed to ensure every cylinder performs instantly and reliably when required.
A critical but often overlooked safety layer
Gas cylinders underpin some of the most safety-critical systems onboard, yet their condition is rarely visible in day-to-day operations. Without regular servicing, performance cannot be assumed at the point of need.
Ocean Safety’s approach combines regulatory compliance with operational assurance, with each cylinder undergoing a rigorous multi-stage process including inspection, controlled discharge, internal examination, pressure testing, refilling and final certification.
This ensures compatibility with equipment, adherence to relevant standards and confidence in performance under pressure.
Supporting a wide range of marine and commercial applications
The company’s gas capability spans multiple specialist areas, including:
- Servicing and overhaul of liferaft cylinders supporting systems from 4 to 132 persons
- Refilling of breathable compressed air for vessels and training environments
- Pressure testing and recharge of fire suppression cylinders, including CO2 and nitrogen (N2) systems up to 300 bar
- High-capacity supply of beverage-grade CO2 for onboard hospitality and vending systems
Recent investment in liquid CO2 storage has also expanded Ocean Safety’s ability to support higher-volume demand from global shipping operators, where consistency and purity are critical to both operational systems and onboard services.
Trusted across safety-critical environments
Ocean Safety’s gas division supports a broad customer base, from commercial vessel operators and training centres to emergency service organisations and international shipping groups.
This cross-sector experience ensures a consistent standard of technical handling and process control, whether servicing individual cylinders or maintaining large-scale fire suppression systems.
As vessel systems become more complex and regulatory scrutiny continues to increase, the role of specialist servicing partners is becoming more critical.
Ocean Safety’s gas capability forms a core part of its wider safety ecosystem, ensuring essential systems are not only compliant, but fully operational and ready for immediate deployment.
