The Medical Oxygen requirements within the Commercial Shipping depends, among other aspects, on the sailing area, crew size and the ship’s cargo. A ship carrying dangerous cargo must be able to resuscitate two patients at the same time and independent from each other by using a 40L oxygen cylinder installed in a ship's hospital. This is in addition to the portable oxygen resuscitation set which is used at the site of the accident. Our MedOx Marine Team is up to date with all applicable laws and regulations and will be glad to assist you.
The medical oxygen outfitting on board cruise ships is very extensive, this is due to the large number of passengers and often the oxygen is also administered to passengers with chronic lung diseases. MedOx Marine always keeps a considerable stock of cylinders and related accessories, which enables us to deliver orders in a short period of time.
