Lagermist, a Dutch-based sealings manufacturer, has appointed Subsea Global Solutions (SGS), a ship repair service provider, as its exclusive US-based service agent.
Under the agreement, SGS will provide service, installation and repair services to Lagersmit customers in North America, Central America and the Caribbean.
Lagersmit chose SGS because it is the established underwater seal service provider across North America, Central America and the Caribbean, with a reputation for rapid-response maintenance and spare parts installation, according to SGS.
Chiel Michel , Service Manager at Lagersmit, said: “The SGS team provides rapid response to ship owners without interference with the vessel’s schedule. As our agent, they will be called upon for bonding new seal rings, removing or installing spacer rings, and even performing complete replacements at anchor or during cargo handling operations. SGS represents our ‘Peace of Mind’ strategy for our customers in the region.”
Lagersmit provides sealing solutions and services for ships, pumps and tidal energy converters.
