The G31 Seeflex Liquid Level Gauge for Modern Yacht Builds

Life at sea places constant demands on the equipment installed on a yacht. Salt, moisture, vibration, changing temperatures, and daily use can all take their toll over time. When you invest in equipment for a new yacht build or refit. The last thing you want to be thinking about is having to replace it a couple of years down the line.

The G31 Seeflex liquid level gauge has spent decades supporting crews and their vessels across the seas. Built using materials that resist corrosion ensures a healthy service life of your liquid level gauge. Its design makes it easy to maintain by different crew members, making it ideal for charter yachts.

For crews, the G31’s toughened borosilicate reflex glass helps them take clear readings in different lighting conditions. Reducing uncertainty and making tank levels easier to monitor. Plus, due to the type of glass used in the build of the gauge, it means it is not easy to crack if it gets a knock.

Its closed-circuit design and self-closing isolation valves help keep tank contents contained when crews aren’t taking readings. This reduces the risk of leaks and spills due to providing better containment for fuel and other liquids.

For yacht builders and refit yards, the G31 also offers you further reassurance as you go through equipment selection. The gauge meets SOLAS standards and holds approvals from Lloyd’s Register, DNV, ABS, RINA, BV, and ClassNK.

Available in stainless steel and premium white finishes to complement modern engine rooms. It delivers the same performance that has supported the wider marine industry for decades.

If you’d like to explore the G31 in more detail, you can view the product page, download the datasheet, or review the latest approvals and certification information.

Final Thoughts…

Whether you’re planning a new build, preparing for a refit, or reviewing equipment already in service. Taking the time to evaluate suppliers and equipment choices can save a great deal of time, cost, and disruption later for both you and your client.

Yachting Pages helps you discover businesses that support the yachting industry, while Seetru brings over 75 years of experience manufacturing valves and liquid level gauges for a range of industries across the world.

If you’re reviewing liquid level monitoring equipment as part of an upcoming project, the G31 Seeflex liquid level gauge offers you a solution built around the realities of life at sea. Clear visibility of fuel and other liquid levels, reduced risk of leaks and spills, long-term resistance to corrosion, and simple maintenance all contribute to a safer and more reliable vessel.

For yacht builders and refit yards, success means handing over a vessel equipped with components built to perform for years to come. For owners and crews, it means equipment they can depend on day after day. Equipment built around the realities of life at sea benefits everyone.

From the people installing it to the people counting on it every day.

FAQs on Seetru joining Yachting Pages

What Should Refit Yards Look for in a Liquid Level Gauge?

A liquid level gauge should make life easier after installation, not create more work later. When reviewing options, look for clear visibility of tank levels, materials that can withstand corrosive marine environments, and designs that help reduce the risk of leaks and spills.

Maintenance is another important consideration. Equipment that requires less upkeep can help reduce future call-backs while giving owners and crew one less thing to worry about.

If the vessel is classed, approvals may also influence equipment selection. Choosing a gauge recognised by organisations such as Lloyd’s Register, DNV, ABS, RINA, BV, and ClassNK. Doing so can help avoid unnecessary questions during and after the project.

How do Yachting Industry Directories Assist Superyacht Professionals?

Yachting industry directories help connect yacht builders, refit yards, yacht management companies, captains, engineers, and owners with suppliers and service providers across the globe.

Rather than sifting through Google per business you need, you can use directories such as Yachting Pages to find suppliers. You can compare services, discover specialist companies, and source support in key yachting destinations around the world.

This can save time during yacht builds, refits, and maintenance projects. While also helping you discover new suppliers and services that may not already be part of your network.

Supporting Future Engineers with the SS Great Britain Trust

Posted on 14 May 202611 June 2026 by Cassandra Brightley

The next generation of engineers holds the keys to our future. We must inspire, guide, and teach them as much as we can. That’s what our corporate partnership with the SS Great Britain Trust (now named as Bristol Dockyards) does.

In Christmas 2025, we supported the SS Great Britain’s Big Give Christmas Challenge. We did it with a donation to support the work they do for the community with the Golden Ticket programme and Future Brunels programmes in Bristol.

A partnership to give potential future STEM stars a spark of curiosity for engineering. A unified goal to build a better future.

Opening the Door to Engineering

For some children it’s difficult to have engineering as a career choice. Like most trades, engineering usually starts when you get a chance to see it in action. Unfortunately, for many children, that opportunity never comes.

School visits and hands‑on workshops can often be the first time young people see engineering as something tangible, something within reach. These opportunities are sometimes limited by cost, which can get in the way of their future.

Think about transport, entry fees, and workshop costs. All these combined can make visits impossible for schools already under pressure.

Seetru’s contribution to the Big Give Christmas Challenge in 2025 helped minimise that barrier. The donation meant that schools with more than 50% of pupils receiving free school meals could visit the SS Great Britain free of charge. It’s an experience many students would not otherwise have had.

Through our partnership with the SS Great Britain Trust, our donation represents an impact equivalent to:

2,095 students visiting the ship, or
222 funded education workshops and guided tours

Each visit to the SS Great Britain provides students with access to the history and innovation in engineering. Set in a learning environment that brings the subject to life.

“Seetru is proud to support the SS Great Britain Trust in sparking curiosity and creativity in local school children.”

– Mark Gracey, Chief Financial Officer

Bristol’s Engineering History

Bristol has always played a central role in British engineering.

It was here that Isambard Kingdom Brunel pushed boundaries and challenged convention. He transformed the approach to how engineering problems are addressed. The SS Great Britain stands as a physical reminder of that mindset. A ship that represented a change in materials, propulsion, and thinking.

That heritage is important to preserve and care for. It shows us and future generations what is possible when curiosity, skill, and courage come together.

For young people growing up in and around Bristol, the SS Great Britain is not just a museum. It’s proof that engineering has always been part of their city, their community, and their future.

Making Access Possible with The Golden Ticket Programme

The SS Great Britain’s Golden Ticket programme focuses on one idea: access to opportunity for children by providing funded school visits to the SS Great Britain. Covering travel, admission, and workshop costs. It removes financial barriers and allows students to take part without cost being an obstacle to opportunity.

Furthermore, each child receives a Golden Ticket that allows them to return with their family for free. That turns a school visit into something bigger. Students can take the experience home. Giving them the chance to share what they have learned, and open the door to conversations about engineering beyond the classroom.

We all understand the importance of education. That is why the SS Great Britain aligns its workshops with the British national curriculum. Focusing on problem‑solving, teamwork, and applied thinking. For many students, this is their first experience of engineering. An experience provided in a practical and creative setting rather than a theoretical one.

Students are more than their grades, and with the right exposure and support. Many will flourish in ways traditional classroom learning alone cannot unlock.

From Exposure to Future Engineers with the Future Brunels Programme

While early exposure plays an important role, inspiration needs time to grow.

The SS Great Britain Trust provides The Future Brunels programme. It works with students over a longer period. Supporting secondary‑age pupils through sustained STEM engagement. Rather than a single visit, students take part in a range of activities over several years. Helping build their confidence and understanding as they go.

Participants get the opportunity to discover what engineering entails. They visit organisations, meet people working in a range of roles, and explore how STEM skills translate into long-term careers. This helps students understand not only what engineering is, but where it can take them.

Designed to keep doors open, this programme is for the most part, for students who may not otherwise see engineering as an accessible path.

A Local Partnership with Lasting Impact

With over 75 years of engineering expertise, we design, and manufacture liquid level gauges, window sight glasses and valves. Each one of these components go to different industries in all corners of the world. Their job is to protect thousands of lives and businesses. From the marine industry and offshore platforms, to your local brewery and beyond.

Our partnership with the SS Great Britain Trust is about empowering future generations. Giving them opportunities and sharing the Bristolian engineering heritage as a platform to inspire them and strengthen the communities around us.

Proudly supporting the SS Great Britain Trust, the dedicated education charity and museum.

Why We Invest in IOSH Training

Posted on 26 October 202328 May 2026 by mike

Whether you’re on the shop floor or managing a team. Knowing how to spot risks and handle emergencies can make all the difference. When you work with a supplier, you want things to be done right and be assured that they are being done up to a high standard of safety. That’s why IOSH training is so important.

That’s one of the reasons why we are committed and invest in IOSH training for our employees. That’s why all our production line-managers and other manufacturing staff complete and update their IOSH training. We renew this regularly as part of our commitment to workplace safety.

What is IOSH training?

IOSH stands for the Institution of Occupational Safety and Health. It’s a leading body in workplace safety, and their training is trusted by businesses across the UK.

It helps teach people how to spot risks early, act fast in emergencies, and support each other at work.

What does it cover?

This training helps covers a range of areas. Which is why our team knows how to:

Spot hazards before they cause harm
Carry out risk assessments
Respond to accidents and emergencies
Support mental health and wellbeing
Build and maintain a culture where safety comes first

IOSH training is widely recognised and respected. It’s often one of the first steps for anyone looking to build a career in health and safety.

The IOSH guiding principles

IOSH has a total of 10 guiding principles. Their features and responsibilities may vary as they are subject to relevant government and regulators, workers as well as businesses and duty holders. They identified the need for principles back in 2023/2024, with the first OSH principles having been drafted early 2024.

Of course, the work doesn’t just end there. IOSH continuously go back to these principles and amend them based on the latest feedback and reports.

What are the 10 IOSH Principles?

IOSH created these principles to help everyone by providing them with a foundation to work from to create safer and healthier workplaces. Here’s a quick look at what their guiding principles are:

Prevention
Most accidents and illnesses at work can be avoided. The goal is to spot the hazard that could cause harm or illness before it happens.
Worker Rights
Everyone has the right to feel safe and supported at work.
Accountability
Clear roles and responsibilities help make sure safety isn’t left up in the air and those responsible can act quickly.
Commitment
Strong leadership and clear policies show that safety is taken seriously.
Collaboration
When people work together safety becomes part of the culture naturally.
Evidence-Based Action
Good decisions come from reliable data. That’s why IOSH encourages using facts and feedback to manage risks.
Sharing Knowledge
Safety improves when people share what they know. The more we share with each other, the better we’re able to perform as a team not just individually.
Learning and Improving
Mistakes and near-misses are chances to learn and do better next time.
Rehabilitation
If someone gets hurt or becomes unwell, they should be and feel supported back into work safely at the advice of doctors for their wellbeing.
Fairness and Respect
Everyone deserves to be treated with dignity and respect. No matter their background or job title.

You can find out more about IOSH their qualifications, guidance and more on their website.

When our people feel safe and supported, they do their best work. It means a better product for you and less potential for delays caused by accidents or human error.

IOSH Training FAQs

Is IOSH training recognised internationally, or only within the UK?

IOSH training is internationally recognised and valued by employers worldwide. While IOSH is a UK-based organisation, its certifications are respected in more than 130 countries and are available in several languages. Many global businesses use IOSH qualifications as part of their health and safety training for staff, especially within diverse supply chains and multinational operations. Having IOSH-certified team members demonstrates a commitment to global safety standards.

What is the difference between IOSH and other health and safety certifications (like NEBOSH)?

Both IOSH and NEBOSH are well-respected in health and safety, but they are for different audiences and purposes. IOSH is primarily a membership organisation and offers shorter, practical courses suitable for all staff levels like managers and those new to health and safety.

On the other hand NEBOSH is an awarding body that provides in-depth, longer courses and globally recognised qualifications. Aimed at people pursuing or advancing a dedicated career in health and safety management. NEBOSH courses generally go deeper into theory and are often required for senior or specialised positions. While IOSH emphasises practical and broad safety training that is ideal for building a strong safety culture throughout any organisation.

Why The EcoVadis Assessment is Important to Us

Posted on 26 October 202321 August 2025 by mike

Sustainability practices and ESG compliance aren’t about ticking a few boxes and calling it a day. We all must do our bit for the people we work with, the communities we serve and the planet we all share. That’s why each year we take part in the EcoVadis assessment. It helps us stay on track, make better choices, improve and grow.

We’re proud to say we’ve earned a bronze medal from EcoVadis. We do this because we care about fairness, safety, ethics and the kind of world we’re helping to shape. These same values are reflected in our ESG policy. We eagerly look forward to the opportunity to keep improving our rating over the years.

Who are EcoVadis?

EcoVadis is a global organisation that rates companies on how well they manage sustainability and ESG compliance. They’ve assessed over 100,000 businesses in more than 175 countries. EcoVadis work across every kind of industry, from manufacturing and logistics to food and tech.

Their aim is to give companies a clear, reliable way to measure progress in key areas like environmental impact, workers’ rights, and ethical business. These ratings are based on evidence and reviewed by experts, which makes them trusted by big brands and procurement teams around the world.

For us, EcoVadis gives structure and accountability to the work we’re doing that people outside of Seetru do not get to see. Things that matter not just to customers, but to our team, our distributors, and our local community.

What do EcoVadis do?

EcoVadis reviews how companies like ours behave behind the scenes. It’s all good for a company to say that they’re doing good things behind the scenes. However, having proof is even better! Ecovadis check the policies we’ve written, the actions we’ve taken, and the proof we have to back it all up. This includes policies like our Modern Slavery Policy that set clear standards across our business.

It’s about being honest, being willing to improve, and showing that we mean what we say. EcoVadis gives each company a score and ranks it against others in the same industry. That makes it easier to see where you stand and where you can do better.

What is an EcoVadis Assessment?

The EcoVadis assessment looks at how well a business is performing across four areas:

Environment: This is about energy, emissions, waste, water, and how we care for natural resources. Every bit of progress, no matter how small helps protect the world we’ll leave behind for future generations.

Labour & Human Rights: Everyone deserves fair pay, safe working conditions, and respect. Whether it’s in our team or our supply chain, people should always come first.

Ethics: This covers things like bribery, corruption, and transparency. Doing the right thing isn’t negotiable because it’s how we build trust with each other and with our customers.

Sustainable Procurement: This one’s about where we get our materials from and how our suppliers treat people and the planet. If we wouldn’t accept poor practice ourselves, we shouldn’t accept it from anyone else either.

This assessment shows us where we are, where we’re doing well, and where there is room for growth and improvement.

To get assessed, we fill out a detailed questionnaire and provide supporting documents. Things like policies, action plans, reports, and results. Then EcoVadis reviews our submission, checks it against international standards, and gives us a score out of 100.

Based on that score, we’re awarded a medal (Bronze, Silver, Gold, or Platinum). Ours is Bronze, and while that’s a positive start, it’s only the beginning. What matters most is what we do next. The report is a guide to help us keep improving year after year.

Why is EcoVadis important?

It’s easy to throw around words like ‘sustainability’ and ‘ethical business’, but it’s important to show that there is meaning behind those words. There is legitimate action taken within a company to improve.

Procurement teams across the world can look for EcoVadis ratings as part of supplier selection. More and more, companies are being asked to show what they stand for. EcoVadis makes that visible in a way that’s fair, consistent, and recognised in any industry.

Apart from the business case, there’s the human one too. If we want safer workplaces and be more responsible with our use of our planet’s resources. Then we need systems that encourage and aid progress. That’s what EcoVadis does it helps good intentions grow into action.

Why did Seetru Apply for an EcoVadis Assessment?

We applied because we care and understand that what we do, and don’t do has an impact. It’s up to us to make sure whether that impact is a positive or negative one. The EcoVadis assessment gives us a structured way to measure our actions and stay focused on what needs to be done.

It also helps bring clarity to the work that often happens behind closed doors. Our team puts time and energy into improving Seetru. That means reducing our environmental footprint, supporting fair work, and setting high expectations for ourselves. Our commitment to doing better also led us to join Business Declares. They’re a non-profit group that brings businesses together to act on climate change and to promote social and ecological responsibility.

Getting a Bronze medal from EcoVadis was a proud moment, but we also saw it as a starting line. Each assessment gives us feedback, areas to grow, and something to aim for. Together we’re working towards a better future for all of us.

You can also browse our full range of hydrogen safety valves here.

EcoVadis FAQs

What can a business do to improve their EcoVadis score each year?

As a business, you can listen to feedback from the EcoVadis report. Improve your action plans, work on weaker areas, and keep updating your policies and practices.

What kind of documents and proof do companies need to provide for EcoVadis?

For the EcoVadis assessment companies must provide official documents that prove they follow good sustainability practices.

There are three main types of evidence:
Policies: Formal, signed papers that show what the company promises to do (like a Code of Conduct or Environmental Policy).
Actions: Proof that the company actually does these things, such as training records, certificates, or procedures.
Results: Data or reports that show the impact of these actions, like energy use or waste reduction figures.

Every claim in the assessment must come with recent and relevant proof. Outdated or informal papers won’t count. The documents should be clear, official, and match what the company says it does in practice.

Need Reliable Pressure Regulating Valves?

Posted on 26 October 202321 August 2025 by mike

Seetru and Schley working together to keep your people and business safe

If pressure levels aren’t right and not controlled properly. You risk damaging equipment, wasting resources, or even shutting down your entire system.

Our partnership with Schley Armaturen means you have access to pressure reducing valves, overflow valves, and pressure regulating valves. All engineered to keep pressure levels stable, protect your team and equipment.

Why are pressure regulating valves important?

Without proper pressure control, even a small imbalance can leave you feeling uneasy and stressed about your equipment’s reliability. The right pressure control valves ensure that liquids, steam and other gases. Can move as they should, helping you feel secure in your business and keeping your team at ease.

How we can help you

Thanks to our partnership with Schley Armaturen. We offer reliable valves that help keep the pressure just where it should be. To minimise the potential of any unwanted surprises and risks. If you’re unsure whether these valves are what you need. Get in touch with us and we’ll help you find the right valve for the job.

Our Schley range of pressure regulating valves

The range of Schley valves we have available thanks to our partnership, are well suited for a range mediums. Some pressure regulating valves have been engineered to deal with corrosive chemicals. While others are more suitable for non-corrosive liquids.

Below are some of the mediums the Schley range covers:

Water
Lubrication oil
Fuel oil
Heavy fuel oil (HFO)
Light fuel oil (LFO)
Marine gasoil (MGO)
Steam.

What does each type of the pressure regulating valves do?

Let’s go over the three core offerings we have that you can get your hands on thanks to our partnership.

One of those offerings are Pressure Reducing Valves (PRVs). Their role is to reduce the inlet pressure to maintain a constant outlet pressure. Even if the inlet pressure fluctuates. It’s used to reduce a higher upstream pressure to a lower, and more desired downstream pressure.

A good example is a water pressure regulator in your home. It’s there to ensure water from the mains doesn’t come in too strong, protecting your plumbing.

What about overflow valves?

First and foremost, overflow valves are more of a safety mechanism to stop pressure from going beyond a safe limit. Usually that’s done by venting excess liquid. The way they do this is by opening and venting liquid when the pressure reaches a predetermined level. This is done to prevent any potential damage from happening to the equipment or the system.

A good way to think of this is pressure cookers. They have safety valves in them, and they vent steam when the pressure inside gets too high. Preventing it from breaking and causing any damage to people and nearby applications.

Finally, we get to the pressure regulating valves. These valves are used to maintain a specific level of pressure. Typically going upstream of the valve, even if there are fluctuations in downstream pressure. They are able to do this as these valves are specifically engineered to sense changes in upstream pressure. So they adjust the valve opening accordingly to maintain the desired pressure.

A good example of this is a fuel supply system on a marine vessel, like a cargo ship. These valves maintain steady fuel pressure to engines. Ensuring there’s consistent performance even when demand changes or supply pressure fluctuates.

Let’s have a look at some of the different pressure regulating valves we offer…

Overflow valve

One of our overflow valve offerings is the Schley T27F Overflow Valve. It is perfect for pump circuits, to ensure a constant pressure level. It is a self-operated valve suitable for liquids, gases, and steam. Helping to relieve excess pressure when necessary. Whether you’re dealing with lubrication oil, fuel oil, or water. This valve ensures your equipment stays safe, even in fluctuating conditions.
