Variable frequency drive motor repair on large cargo ship in China

Background

Large cargo ship at dock

As a global workforce specialist providing management and supervision services, we were tasked with a crucial repair job for our long standing client’s project on a cargo ship in China.

Our client had encountered a critical issue with a VFD motor, and required a team of specialized personnel to mend the issue before the ship could depart.

The VFD motor’s speed regulation was malfunctioning, causing disruption in essential components such as propulsion systems and pumps, rendering the cargo ship immobile. As a result, our client and the end-client faced the risk of incurring significant downtime, leading to delays and financial losses.

Since our client lacked the necessary workforce in China and navigating the complex Chinese labor regulations was a challenge, they approached us for our expertise in delivering specialized personnel globally.
