A Four-Hour Window in Lerwick Harbour
A Norwegian fish carrier based in Lerwick, Shetland had developed a fault with its Miele dishwasher. The vessel was due to sail to a remote fish farm, leaving just four hours to complete the repair.
Thain Commercial planned the visit around that departure window. The job called for the right expertise and parts to be available during the vessel's short stay in harbour.
Diagnostics and Parts Ready for the Repair
The team used computer diagnostic equipment to identify the fault and repaired the dishwasher successfully using parts carried in the service van. The repair was completed before the vessel sailed.
The project demonstrates the value of preparation, well-stocked service vehicles and diagnostic equipment when working at a remote harbour with limited time on board.
Supporting Equipment Across Scotland
Thain Commercial supports commercial laundry and dishwashing equipment across mainland Scotland and remote island communities. Its Cumbernauld headquarters and Aviemore service centre coordinate engineers trained across leading manufacturers, including support for machines originally supplied by other companies.
For vessel operators, equipment details and the available harbour window are practical starting points when arranging a repair.
