Seaking Electrical completes Bibby contract

Seaking was responsible for revamping the central air conditioning plant for the 332 bedroomed vessel to bring greater control and usability. The deal involved work in ports in Malaysia and Singapore.

The work was carried out prior to the ship’s assignment to the Barrow Island offshore development in North Western Australia.

SeaKing Group business development manager, Neil Mellenchip, said: “We sent out a team of three technicians to complete the Renaissance contract. The work involved a complete upgrade to the vessel’s air conditioning system. This included fitting new panel controls to the air conditioning hub located in the plant room.”

Programmable logical controllers (PLCs) and improved visual indication were also installed to make the whole system much easier to use. The new controls allow temperature conditions around the vessel to be managed with greater efficiency.

The Bibby Renaissance Coastel is used for offshore accommodation and has a range of facilities including a restaurant, games rooms, gymnasiums and a roof terrace.

SeaKing Electrical worked alongside fellow Birkenhead and marine refrigeration specialists Brooktherm to complete the job.

This project adds to the wide variety of vessels SeaKing Electrical has worked on in the last year, including super yachts, dive support vessels, drill ships, ferries, tug boats and tankers.
