Norway's Wilhelmsen Ships Service has completed a major safety system service for the Chevron FSO 'Escarvos' in South Africa.
At the same time, Wilhelmsen provided equipment and refrigerant to support the refurbishment of the vessel's chiller systems. The project was valued at over US$450,000.
"The FSO 'Escarvos' was called offsite in South Africa for special dry-docking. While other work was being undertaken, the operators, Chevron, decided to upgrade the safety and refrigeration systems," Harry Muller, Account Manager at Wilhelmsen Ships Service explained.
The operation involved an inspection of the FSO 'Escarvos's' carbon dioxide and dry powder fire extinguishing system. The company also commissioned a complete new carbon dioxide system to protect the FSO's diesel generator room and supplied storage tanks, recovery units and refrigerant to support the refurbishment of the vessel's chiller system.
Wilhelmsen Ships Service supplies Unitor marine products, technical services, ships agency services and maritime logistics.
