The Challenge
A failed generator puts profits on the line
A bulk iron ore carrier was waiting off the coast of Pilbara (Western Australia) when disaster struck.
A vital marine diesel generator broke down. Without it, the ship couldn’t safely enter port to collect its cargo – which left the carrier and its crew stranded.
The crew needed a quick generator hire solution. Or the ship would be forced to return to its home port in the Philippines empty-handed.
