It is conveniently situated between the ports of Hamburg and Bremerhaven at the Wilhelmsen Ships Service premises in Sittensen. The station is certified to service all Unitor branded rafts. It is also fully stocked to deliver and exchange Wilhelmsen Ships Service liferafts in all German ports for all of their customers with a Liferaft Rental Exchange Agreement.
Under these agreements, Wilhelmsen Ships Service undertakes to rent liferafts to their customers’ vessels on an annual basis. At the end of each year, they are exchanged for newly-certified liferafts in one of the agreed exchange ports around the world. There is currently a service network of more than 20 service stations located at many of the major ports and Wilhelmsen Ships Service is continuously developing new service stations.
“All members of the team have worked extremely hard to get the station up and running,” said Ove Loos, General Manager Germany, Wilhelmsen Ships Service. “We are pleased that we can now offer these services to our customers from a German port,” he added.
