SailAdvice analisi yacht 1 1

SailADVice

The first SailADVice meeting was held on 17 January. With this initiative, SailADV is planning a series of meetings aimed at making our customers more familiar with the several services offered by SailADV.

On this occasion, a large technical delegation from the Sanlorenzo shipyard was our guest to visit the Pontlab and Mecoil laboratories.

Since 2015, SailADV has been responding to the needs of the marine industry to make the boat measurable in its various technical aspects such as performance measurement, analysis of acquired data, problem solving and as a partner for technical support of custom projects.

This is thanks to our decades-long collaboration with our technical partners Pontlab, Mecoil, Sintechnology, Qfp and Momote, with whom we are able to jointly provide innovative analysis services that go beyond the usual classical technical methods.

Together with them, we coordinate activities and act as a point of contact between the shipbuilding industry and technical excellence.

Laboratory analysis for yachts and ships

Analysis of oils, fuels and coolants for yachts, superyachts and ships

PressMare magazine talks about SailADV

laboratory analysis megayacht

We offer customers support in finding the analysis best suited to their needs. To analyse oils and fuels, customers can either receive the UCVD kit from SailADV with instructions on how to carry out the analysis themselves, or they can request the assistance of technical staff at their premises.
After sampling, which may involve engine oil, hydraulic oils, cooling liquids and fuels, the sample is sent to Mecoil, SailADV’s exclusive partner and analysis specialist. Mecoil will perform the chemical-physical analysis and provide the results within 48 hours of sample delivery.

The data collected is analysed by our staff, contextualised and interpreted. Afterwards, the customer receives a detailed technical report with comments and corrective actions to be taken in case of detected problems.
Thanks to more than 2,000 analyses already carried out, SailADV has a wealth of case histories that allow for very detailed comparisons. These data, which are easy to read and interpret, confirm the validity of the scientific diagnosis of our work.

Yacht quality

Yacht quality

PressMare magazine talks about SailADV

yacht analisi qualita sailadv

Can the quality of a yacht be assessed?
Is it feasible to determine the condition of its mechanical, hydraulic and structural components?
Certainly, especially now that technology offers us increasingly sophisticated tools that allow us to carry out extremely detailed analyses that would have been unthinkable a few years ago. However, collected data must be interpreted correctly through a scientific process, measurable and repeatable, and which requires expertise acquired through experience and constant updating.

PressMare devotes an article (in Italian) to our activities, including:

  • chemical-physical analysis of all those elements from which it is possible to predict possible malfunctions or drifts from normal operation;
  • measurement of yacht performance, efficiency, seaworthiness and quality (performance, seaworthiness, comfort).

We also talk about our Partners, so important for a multidisciplinary and specialised business like ours. These are in fact companies that are leaders in their field, involved in the analysis of those data from which the scientific assessments are derived. These include:

  • Pontlab for the analysis and testing of materials and components;
  • Sint Technology, a technical excellence specialising in strain gauge measurements;
  • QFP for 3D scanning and reverse engineering;
  • MECOIL for lubricant analysis;
  • Caponnetto Uber for CFD analysis and sea motion.

Finally, we would also like to mention and thank the main Italian universities with which a fruitful collaboration has been established over the years, including:

  • University of Pisa;
  • University of Genoa;
  • Marche Polytechnic University;
  • University of Trieste.

Oil Analysis Tips for Yachts

Why choose SailADV for oil analysis

Some tips to think about
  • Oil analysis is a tool of predictive maintenance but doesn’t finish once you make the periodical sampling. SailADV intends the predictive maintenance as a process of listening to the yacht system and its signals in order to anticipate any failure and prevent any delay or major cost.
  • SailADV is a consulting company that uses highly qualified partners to be able to offer extremely precise and valid answers to the doubts and problems of our customers.
    As for oil and fuel analyzes, we have been collaborating with the Mecoil analysis laboratory for many years and we have established a very strong collaboration relationship with them and a very fluid process of information circulation that avoid wasting time and allows us to send you the results of the analyzes in 2 / 3 days from the arrival of the samples in the laboratory. It is important to say that in case of alerts in the results you will find our technical advice in the report you receive or our call on the phone. With SailADV, unlike a simple analysis laboratory, you will have the contextualization of the data in the yacht system: we have been working on yachts for more than twenty years and we have experienced lots of problems and solutions. This is included in the price of each analysis.
  • The analyzes are recorded on a management system, which allows you to have a history over time to check the progress of the analyzes and schedule periodic maintenance.
  • We send you our Oil Analysis Kits free of charge (within Italy) so every yacht can keep it on board and can run the samples at it best convenience. You don’t have to pay anything in advance, pay only the analyses you want to do.
  • Speaking about the free SailADV Oil Analysis Kit you receive, UCVD stands for Ultra Clean Vacuum Device and is the patented sampling bottle that you will find in the Kit, but it is not a simple bottle and by using it you will avoid the sample to be contaminated by external agents during the sampling phase but you will also notice such ease of use that you won’t even get your hands dirty!
  • Last, when choosing your partner, keep in mind that our laboratory is located in Italy (European Union). If, for example, at the end of the season in the Mediterranean the yachts of your fleet want to perform the analyzes on main systems, they will be able to easily send the samples performed without suffering delays due to customs and controls and the next day the samples may already be in analysis.

These are just a few points on which we would like to draw your attention considering that all this is included in the price of a single analysis.

SAMPLING

Oil Laboratory Analysis

In order to trend the health status of the system of a vessel, SailADV takes an oil sample regularly while the system is operating, at a temperature of about 80°. SailADV takes care of collecting the samples wherever the client is and delivering them to the laboratory.

IHM Certification

ihm certification sailadv italy1 (1)
ihm certification sailadv italy1 (1)

SailADV staff continues to update itself and keep up with the evolution of market needs to always provide the best service.
Our technicians have achieved the “Approved HazMat Expert” certification during the course that was held on 16/12/2020 and which took place in accordance with the “Hong Kong International Convention for the Safe and Sound Recycling of Ships 2009” and to the “EU Ship Recycling Regulation (EU 1257/2013)”. The certification was issued by RINA.

What is IHM?

IHM stands for Inventory of Hazardous Materials:

  1. Inventory of hazardous materials present in structures and / or equipment from ships.
  2. A list of the waste generated by the activities carried out on board the ship.
  3. A list of stocks on board.

Target

Ensure that hazardous waste from ship disposal is subject to environmentally compatible management.

Field of application

Newly built vessels with GT> 500 t (excluding military vessels) on international voyages.

Effective from

The HONK KONG convention was enacted in 2009 but has NOT entered into force yet. Its entry into force is subject to a series of parameters that have not yet been achieved.

BUT
The European regulation (No. 1257/2013 specified in Article 32) requires that starting from 31/12/2020 each new construction has an inventory of hazardous materials on board.

THEREFORE
Only the “part 1” inventory will be mandatory for new buildings starting from 31/12/2020.

Please contact SailADV to plan an IHM survey on your vessel.
