Controls and electrical in one company · WA electrical contractor IKONIAL745N4

Vessels

Controls and electrical work for commercial vessels. We are five minutes from the Port of Tacoma, and we work in port, at anchor, in the shipyard and underway.

Four ways to start

Rapid Response

For when a fault needs fixing before the vessel sails again.

We will come aboard next time the vessel is in port, usually tomorrow or this week. We will find the fault, fix it where we can, and scope the rest for the next window.

Pre-Shipyard Survey

For when the yard period is six to twelve months away.

We survey the controls and electrical before the yard. You will get a work list ready to go into the yard specification.

Shipyard Support

For when the vessel is in the yard, here or overseas.

We run our own controls and electrical scope in the yard, in the US and abroad. We manage our own work and report to you.

LNG and gas-fueled vessels

For hazardous area electrical and controls work to IEC standards.

Seven of our people hold IECEx Certificates of Personnel Competence. They work on LNG-converted and gas-fueled vessels.

Why operators call us

Work that does not fit a port call

Many vessels are in port for a day. An engineer can ride to the next port and keep working on the way. Generators, steering pumps, cooling pumps and control networks are duplicated on most vessels, so we work on one while the vessel runs on the other. It also suits commissioning, tuning and faults that only show up underway. We have worked this way on freight and cruise ships.

Machinery makers also send us to vessels on their behalf when their equipment has a controls problem, on cruise ships and other vessels.

“Their work is always neat and precise. It is hard to imagine where we would be without their support over the years. Their team has become an integral part of our team.”
