Ensuring smooth operations and minimizing downtime is a top priority in the maritime industry.
At G&O Compensators, we have developed a comprehensive Exchange Concept designed to minimize downtime and extend the lifespan of critical components. To secure the success of our Exchange Concept, G&O Compensators has meticulously mapped shipping routes and strategically placed service hubs in Houston, Korea, Singapore, Qatar, and Denmark to support the EU market. This ensures local presence and a seamless exchange process, reducing operational disruptions for shipowners and operators worldwide.
Step 1: Receiving and Inspecting the Used Compensator
After the completed exchange and the old unit is offloaded from a vessel, it is transported to a controlled environment where a comprehensive inspection and testing procedure begins. With over 30 years of industry expertise, our team meticulously examines each unit to detect wear, potential issues, or areas for improvement, ensuring compliance with G&O’s high-performance standards.
Step 2: Rigorous Refurbishment and Component Replacement
Each compensator undergoes an extensive refurbishment process, which includes:
• Disassembly & Inspection: Every component is thoroughly examined for signs of wear or defects.
• Replacement of Critical Parts: Bearings, seals, electronics, bolts, washers, and bushings are replaced to enhance longevity and reliability.
• Precision Reassembly: The unit is rebuilt in a controlled setting to minimize the risk of assembly errors and ensure maximum robustness.
“We collaborate with globally recognized manufacturers and suppliers who share our commitment to excellence. Our sourcing process involves rigorous screening and continuous evaluation, ensuring that our clients receive only the best solutions.” – Morten Kjæmpe, Head of Service & Technical Support, G&O Compensators
Step 3: Testing and Ready for Reinstallation
Once reassembled, each compensator undergoes a thorough calibration followed by a Factory Acceptance Test (FAT) to verify that it meets all operational and safety requirements. Only after passing these strict tests is the compensator approved for reinstallation, ensuring a fully restored, high-quality unit that guarantees performance under heavy inertia forces.
A Proven Concept for Reliable Maritime Operations
By integrating expertise, structured processes, and strategic service hubs, G&O Compensators delivers an efficient and reliable exchange program that minimizes downtime and extends the lifecycle of critical vessel components.
