A ‘Returns Number’ is required prior to sending your tank for examination, together with a purchase order to cover initial inspection, detailed report & handling costs. This cost is offset against main vessel repair costs.

All documentation is required to be supplied with the tank at time of initial delivery. Failure to supply all necessary paperwork can significantly affect the repair process of your tank, and ultimately may lead to the tank being unable to be re-certified. Storage fees may be applicable if we are unable to action your repair due to non supply of documentation

“Thanks very much for your extended help. I know both customers are impressed at the response we have given them and your service engineers helpfulness on the day. Much appreciated and thank the engineer also” – BOC

So, whether it’s for a major overhaul or a re-pump, allow Wessington to carry out the work for you with the minimum effort on your behalf.
