Define the compressor fault before attendance

For another air-compressor repair, report the alarm, operating temperature, running pressure and affected component. A thermostat fault, air leakage and failure to build pressure lead to different inspections; give the technician the observed symptoms rather than only requesting an overhaul.

Request compressor attendance

Send the maker, model, nameplate, alarm or defect description, photographs, port or anchorage and working window. SVC Marine's technicians attend onboard for inspection and the agreed compressor repair scope.

Information for the repair scope

Compressor maker, model and nameplate photographs
Alarm or defect description and photographs of the affected components
Berth or anchorage, ETA and available working window

Compressor repairs at Vietnam ports

Our repair team undertakes commissioned compressor work at Chan May, Van Phong and Cam Ranh, as well as other Vietnam ports. Identify North or South Van Phong and the actual terminal or anchorage when sending a Khanh Hoa worklist. See ship repair at Van Phong.
