Press release - Merseyside refrigeration and air-conditioning specialist Flynn has responded to an emergency call-out for a specialist compressor for a cargo vessel operating in the Philippines.
The firm responded rapidly to German shipping company W Bockstiegel’s urgent demand for a Carlyle Carrier 5F60 compressor for its vessel Nils B following the breakdown of the ship’s refrigeration compressor in Manila.
Flynn is an official supplier of some of the industry’s biggest refrigeration, air-conditioning and compressor manufacturers including Bitzer, Bock, Grasso, Gram, Copeland and Danfoss.
Flynn managing director Alex Flynn said the firm arranged for its express air freight company to collect the product the same day the order was received and swiftly transport it to the Philippines.
The compressor reached the Nils B more than 6,500 miles away, in under 48 hours.
It was successfully delivered to the customer on June 6. The ship’s crew had the expertise to fit the compressor themselves.
