UK Docks marine service engineers have been busy servicing Brunvoll AS products nationally and internationally in recent weeks.
A team of three engineers spent much of February working on the Magne Viking in Landskrona in southern Sweden, overhauling Brunvoll AS thrusters.
They worked for a fortnight on the tug/supply vessel in the Oresund Drydocks AB, overhauling four Brunvoll tunnel thrusters and one Brunvoll retractable azimuth.
All four tunnel thrusters, as well as the azimuth thruster, were removed from the tug/supply vessel to the workshop for routine maintenance and overhaul.
Meanwhile, UK Docks marine service engineers have also been working in Scotland with Brunsvoll AS Volda, supervising and assisting Dales Marine Services in Leith on the Vos Provider.
Work was carried out on the removal and overhaul of the offshore supply ship's main propeller and shaft and the successful replacement of Stern tube seals. The contract was completed within seven days and the Vos Provider is now out of Leith dry dock.
UK Docks has been a service and sales agent for Brunvoll in the UK for 27 years now.
This involves the company sending engineers to vessels in dry dock for repairs and routine maintenance when needed.
This is a very active market for UK Docks and when the UK is quiet we are requested to support Brunvoll's head office in Norway on an as-and-when basis.
The Swedish job on the Magne Viking was therefore not an unusual one for us, as we operate globally and were quick to send our UK engineers over.
In the UK, we are continuously overhauling Brunvoll thrusters , most recently the Putford Defender on Teesside in January.
