KVAERNER Eureka has boosted its worldwide servicing, spare parts and maintenance network to include Gibraltar.
The Gibraltar branch office, which will be headed by Mr Endre Lystand, will be involved mainly in providing service and maintenance of systems for gas tankers, reefer compressors and all types of pumps.
But the branch has the capability to handle the complete range of Kvaerner Eureka marine equipment.
Although completely autonomous from the Kvaerner Gibraltar repair yard, the Gibraltar service station is expected to provide complementary services.
Kvaerner Eureka's service stations are located at important sites on the world's major shipping routes. All stations are capable of mobilising and moving to other ports.
A good example of this was the recent major repair undertaken by Kvaerner Ships Equipment AB of Gothenburg, the Swedish member of the Kvaerner Eureka family, in October.
The B&I passenger ferry Isle of Innisfree, on the company's Holyhead (UK)-Dublin (Eire) service, was in urgent need of replacement of both the hinge arms of the bow doors.
