Sweden: New business for Roxtec

“We inspect and maintain sealing solutions on marine vessels and offshore units to make sure they keep up performance and meet the safety requirements from the classification societies,” says Roger Johansson, Executive Vice President Business Area Marine & Offshore at Roxtec.

High safety standards require correctly installed, properly maintained and easily inspected sealing solutions. As sealing experts dedicated to safety and reliability, Roxtec knows how important cable and pipe transits are when it comes to protecting life and assets.

“Far too often, frequent upgrades with new equipment, cables and pipes, and the tough corrosive environment result in severe material fatigue. Suddenly the rig or vessel is not protected against fire, gas and water according to regulations anymore,” says Roger Johansson. Therefore, the cable and pipe seal provider established the company specializing in inspections.

Long-term partnership

If the inspection report recommends corrective actions, the Roxtec Services maintenance team is ready to assist the operator with urgent actions onsite as well as with long-term services. “Our inspectors also share their knowledge by training installation teams, supervisors and inspectors,” says Roger Johansson. “Many classification societies already call for frequent transit inspections onboard rigs and ships, and we see a huge potential for our new company.”
