TESTING & ANALYSIS
the smarter choice for water disinfection and legionella treatment
LEGIONELLA TESTING, ANALYSIS AND FOLLOW-UP
Onboard water systems where aerosol formation may occur pose a serious health risk due to the Legionella bacterium. Given the potential consequences for crew and passengers, every operator is legally obliged to take proper measures to prevent and control this bacterium.
Need help keeping your vessel’s water systems Legionella-free and legally compliant?
Star Marine is here to assist you!
As the operator of a water system onboard such as tap water, showers, cooling systems, or tank cleaning equipment that may produce aerosols – you are required by law to develop a Legionella management plan.
This bacterium is responsible for illnesses such as Legionnaires’ disease and Pontiac fever.
The experts at Star Marine support you with:
- Drafting a Legionella management plan tailored to maritime applications
- Setting up a follow-up programme with regular monitoring
- Taking Legionella samples at the legally defined sampling points onboard
Star Marine goes even further. After analysis in an independent, accredited laboratory, we review the results together. If necessary, we update the management plan to effectively address and resolve any issues.
This is how Star Marine helps you ensure that all water flows onboard remain safe and compliant with regulations , whether you’re operating in inland shipping, deep-sea shipping, or offshore environments.
