Oxygen cylinders for ships are one of the equipment that every ship must be equipped with. The COVID 19 pandemic, in particular, has highlighted the question of how much medical oxygen should be carried on board, as well as the difficulty of purchasing and supplying oxygen cylinders. In the event of a COVID 19 outbreak on board, it should be noted that 50% of the crew are regularly affected and up to 20% may require oxygen if they are unable to reach shore for medical treatment for several days. This could mean that more than one seafarer needs oxygen therapy at a time. Therefore, sufficient medical oxygen must be carried on board.
Zhejiang Zhongxing oxygen cylinders are usually supplied in the form of single cylinders or bundles, and the cylinders are made of aluminum alloy. The high corrosion resistance of our cylinders is ideal for rough handling and harsh environments encountered at sea. It is important to note that when there is a risk of internal corrosion in cylinder applications, such as cylinders used in marine environments, a residual pressure check should be performed before refilling.
You and your oxygen equipment must be kept 10 feet (3 meters) away from heat sources or open flames such as stoves, gas ranges, grills, candles, fireplaces (gas and wood burning).
