Four dry-dock compressor services completed within 3.5 months
Within 3.5 months, four Korean-owned LNG vessels went into dry dock to complete their 5-year service in Korea and Burckhardt Compression was on board to service the compressor systems and auxiliaries.
All four vessels are under a long-term service agreement (LTSA) with Burckhardt Compression Fleet Management Solutions and therefore, the optimized scope could be prepared well ahead. The cooperation between our global Technical Support Center and the local experts facilitated a one-stop-solution for our customers.
Thanks to the close collaboration between Burckhardt Compression Korea and KLCSM, the 5-year dry dock maintenance of the high-pressure cargo compressors was successfully completed. Several critical and minor issues had been observed during the maintenance period. Through your quick and pragmatic reaction, all the issues could be treated properly without any delay. Also, we’d like to express our special thanks for “Zero incident”. During the entire period, Burckhardt Compression Korea had well stuck to our safety regulations, and we could see your impressive safety consciousness.
Mr. N.H. Park, Superintendent, KLCSM
