Atmospheric oil mist detection soon to be mandatory?

The revised “Code of Practice for Atmospheric Oil Mist Detectors” was finalized at the IMO meeting in February 2025 (Sub-Committee on Ship Systems and Equipment). The goal is to increase shipping safety and incorporate modern technologies that reliably monitor and detect oil mist in engine rooms.

It is highly likely that the IMO will introduce mandatory atmospheric oil mist monitoring on board ships in the near future. This will represent a crucial step in preventive fire protection—oil mist is proven to be a major cause of fires in engine rooms.

With the QMI Oil Mist Detection System, TX Marine Messsysteme GmbH offers a sophisticated solution that is already in use in shipping and industry. Our systems are robust, reliable, and specifically designed for maritime use – so you can meet the upcoming IMO requirements now.
