One of the more memorable ship visits over the years. An amazing group that changes people’s lives every day, year after year. I am pleased to have had the opportunity to work with the team on multiple occasions.

BSR SOLUTIONS is a distributor for the well-known company INFICON, manufacturer of quality service tools for the HVAC/R industry.
INFICON has supported BSR SOLUTIONS with products for training purposes for some time and proven to be the best option for quality tools. Service tools are in stock, spare parts, repairs/service and annual calibration are available locally. Combining training with “best practice” guidance for using the service tools, ensures knowledge gained does not result in the common pitfall, “Knowing is not the same as Doing”.

Customers frequently express their struggle to recruit personnel with suitable competence within the area of HVAC/R. The need for training courses is needed/required due to either, regulation and/or good practice to reduce costly breakdowns and repairs. These three issues combined, enable compliance with regulatory requirements, improve efficiency, reduce operating cost and achieve trouble free operation.
Many companies are offering training to the marine industry in various forms and the quality is somewhat a challenge to determine. Training is commonly divided in three categories: regulatory requirements, knowledge awareness and competence development.
To ensure quality training is achieved, it is best to utilize a provider accredited by a leading classification society and member of IACS (International Association of Classification Societies).
BSR Solutions has achieved “Certificate of Compliance of Quality Management Systems of Maritime Training Institutes” awarded by Bureau Veritas. The following courses are included:

The two year agreement is part of BSR Solutions Asset Management program. This will enable an early insight into equipment’s conditional change and status, which combined, give an early warning and time frame in order to take needed actions to prevent further wear, leaks and ultimately equipment failure. The agreement is part of upholding sustainable operation with focus on reducing refrigerant and oil consumption.
