Expertise for Maritime Challenges
Shipbuilding is one of the most traditional areas of application for WEKA level indicators. Valves and cryogenic components are also increasingly being used in maritime applications, such as in the transport of hydrogen or in cryogenic supply systems. These components must withstand extreme conditions such as salt fog, vibrations, temperature fluctuations, and aggressive media. WEKA products are designed for maximum reliability and safety under these demanding conditions.

For FPSO Applications
Especially for FPSO ships (Floating Production, Storage and Offloading Units) with completely installed, movable drilling towers as well as storage and transshipment stations, specialized level indicators in the high-pressure and high-temperature range are often used. These floating production platforms place extreme demands on materials and construction.

For Marine Environment
While our standard materials 316/316L are sufficient for most shipbuilding applications, special liquids such as aggressive chemicals, ballast water, or corrosive cargo require specialized materials. Specialized solutions made of high-alloy nickel steels and, in the level measurement range, variants in PVC, PP, and PVDF ensure the necessary resistance to salt water and durability under maritime conditions.

WEKA has most renowned product certifications for shipbuilding and is thus well-equipped for all inquiries from this industrial sector. Our products are designed for maximum safety – certified according to DGRL with conformity assessment according to Module H/H1. This ensures reliable operation even under extreme sea conditions.
