Our next IDEA webinar is with our partner Spectro | Jet-Care. Join Larry Rumbol to find out why not all labs are equal when it comes to fluid analysis on superyachts, and how your results can flow straight into IDEA YACHT to support planned maintenance.
Oil and fluid analysis is one of the clearest windows into the health of the machinery on board. But a sample is only as useful as the laboratory that tests it and the way the results are acted on. This session looks at both: what sets a laboratory apart, and how a connected workflow turns results into action for crews, managers and owners.
Who are Spectro | Jet-Care?
Spectro | Jet-Care has been providing specialist laboratory analysis since 1976, and celebrates 50 years in 2026. For the superyacht industry, its laboratories analyse oil, hydraulic fluid, fuel, coolant and fire suppression water samples, with ISO 17025 accredited laboratories in the UK, the USA and Switzerland.

Connected to IDEA YACHT
Since IDEA YACHT 2021.4, Spectro | Jet-Care has been integrated directly with our software. Crews can request sample kits from within IDEA YACHT, and laboratory results become available automatically. Follow-up maintenance tasks can be created from sampling results, and sampling kit logistics are easier to organise. It removes several manual steps from a routine engine room process and keeps the results where the maintenance decisions are made.
What the session covers
Larry will share why the choice of laboratory matters, what to look for in your fluid analysis results, and how the Spectro | Jet-Care integration works in practice inside IDEA YACHT. Like all our webinars, the session runs for no longer than 30 minutes, so it fits easily into a working day on board or in the office.

At IDEA, we help crews, managers and owners bring clarity to every part of yacht operations, from maintenance and safety to inventory, compliance and finance. Reliable laboratory data, delivered straight into the system where maintenance is planned, means earlier warnings, better-informed decisions and less time chasing paperwork.
