Ongoing break down support and regular maintenance solutions for the Marine industry
Western Power Solutions supply companies within marine with ongoing break down support and regular maintenance solutions. Marine is an industry that requires prompt and accurate service. We help our clients get their vessels back to operation to support the export of product out of our port. This can be highly technical and requires Electricians with strong technical experience and the ability to think outside the square. Our work on these vessels ranges from break downs in instrumentation, power generation, lighting and power faults, motor and winch failures, EMG generator synchronisation, bus tie & ACB issues.
Case Study: MER SOLUTIONS
Location: PORT HEDLAND PORT / Break down: EMERGENCY GENERATOR FAULT
Our team were called to a breakdown on an Iron ore ship for MER Solutions. Upon the AMSA (Australian Maritime Safety Authority) inspection the emergency generator would not automatically start under fault conditions. As this is considered essential for the ship to set sail into international waters they were restricted from departing the port until this was corrected. Western Power Solutions were escorted to the ship and carried out fault finding on the Emergency system. The fault was found to be the linking bus tie circuit breaker from the main generator to the emergency generator. Under challenging conditions and a tight deadline we managed to source a replacement breaker quickly and cost effectively. Western Power Solutions were able to fit the new breaker with minimal delay to their original departure time.
