Wilhelmsen launches lay-up package

Baird Maritime

Norway-based Wilhelmsen Ships Service has packaged its ships agency services together with its Unitor range of marine products, technical services and maritime logistics into an integrated offer for vessel lay-ups.

The new package is built to assist customers, from identification of lay-up locations to full service and product supply.

Wilhelmsen Ships Service' extensive network of offices has a complete overview of available hot and cold lay-up locations worldwide. Wilhelmsen's ships agents can evaluate suitable locations, and make a recommendation based on the customer's criteria regarding cost, safety and trade route considerations.

Unitor Marine Chemicals protect on-board systems from deterioration during the lay-up period and competent in-house technicians can recommend the most efficient applications for the individual vessel.

The chemical lay-up solutions include products for each key area including the engine room, water systems, boilers, cargo hold and void spaces, black and grey water systems and general maintenance. Prevention of processes such as corrosion, grease build-up and microbiological activity are all vital to ensure fast and efficient re-commissioning of the vessel.
