Anyone have any experience working for Atlantic Towing?

I'm more familiar with Alfa Laval purifiers, but one thing I would have checked is the amount of operating water actually making it to the purifier. There are usually specifications for required amount of flow. Also, if it was working before the routine overhaul/cleaning, then I would take the purif...

I've been trying to track down some clear regulations to see if I need to actually take the course right now. ...

The switchboard manufcturer is dealing with the Lloyds approval process. Its one of my queries to them so we wi...

We are currently drawing up the specs for a new swbd. The vessel has cpp hydraulics as well as the hydraulic packs for the steering gear inside the ER. Any comments regarding if this equipment should be included on the fire stop rail? On the one side we are dealing with hydraulic oil and hoses which...
