Nordic Bulkers
More than 30 years of collaboration keeps the fleet moving
Extending service life by up to five years
Nordic Bulkers has around 2,500 containers in its fleet, many used for petrochemicals, food products and construction materials. The tank and bulk containers often require more than standard measures, and Elfcon supports everything from inspection and ongoing maintenance to complex repairs and refurbishment.
– Elfcon has an excellent understanding of our containers and the demands we place on them. They can handle complex repairs and find solutions even for older equipment, helping us use many of our containers well beyond their expected ten-year service life – often for up to 15 years, says Johan Olers, Technical Manager at Nordic Bulkers AB.
Elfcon provides excellent advice. They help us quickly determine the right action and what is genuinely worth investing in.
The right action for the right container
Not every container should be treated in the same way. For major refurbishment, the condition, cost and remaining service life must be weighed against each other before a decision is made.
– Elfcon provides excellent advice. They help us quickly determine the right action and what is genuinely worth investing in, says Olers.
When major work is required, Elfcon also acts as an adviser on what is technically and economically reasonable to repair. The long-standing relationship makes the work straightforward, as both parties understand the equipment, requirements and working methods.
– The collaboration runs very smoothly. Elfcon is easy to reach, responds quickly and we know the work will be carried out to the right standard without us having to manage every detail, Olers concludes.
