ATLA provided us with electrical engineering and connectivity skills to integrate a new dewatering unit into a general cargo vessel. This involved arranging power supply, Internet access and a GPS signal to a remote corner of the engine room. This meant pulling over 100 metres of cable from the bridge. With the assistance and expertise of ATLA’s technicians and office support, we were able to select and install the right components under the time pressure of the project. The new system is operational, producing data, and transmitting to shore via 4G once the ship is within range of the coast.
A beautiful end product!
Our research and survey vessel MV FUGRO GAUSS was having problems with its old engine order telegraph system. However, the system was no longer supported by the manufacturer. ATLA Propulsion Controls sent a technician out to Singapore to repair the system and recalibrate the potentiometers. The system is now working well – this repair avoided a big investment in
a new telegraph system. We are happy with the service provided by ATLA Propulsion Controls. If we have a problem in the future with this (or any other) system, we would like to have them on board.
Our sea tug En Avant 20 was having intermittent problems with its propulsion controls. Clutching was irregular and, as the problem got worse, manoeuvring was sometimes unpredictable. ATLA sent two mechanics to find out exactly where the problem was coming from. They corrected the values on the thruster propulsion controls, getting them back to factory settings. The ship’s crew were very satisfied with the service provided by the ATLA mechanics. They quickly and effectively found and fixed the problem. I would (and already have) recommend ATLA to my colleagues in comparable positions.
