CALLED ABOARD FOR FERRY VENT CLEANING

Condor Ferries’ Commodore Clipper recently called aboard System Hygienics to complete full trunk cleaning of the vessel’s ventilation systems.

The Commodore Clipper was stationed at Falmouth’s dry dock for a refit when System Hygienics operations staff carried out the work. This involved a thorough inspection and clean of the ventilation system that runs throughout the ferry, including accommodation, bathrooms and galley extracts.

Unscheduled repairs to another vessel in Condor Ferries’ fleet delayed the cleaning programme on several occasions, but Mike Mustill, Hotel Services Operations Manager for Condor Ferries, was delighted with the reliability and professionalism of System Hygienics’ office and operations staff and wrote a letter complimenting the team’s good work.

Mike said: “Reports back from the vessel were of hard working technicians who achieved an excellent standard of cleaning, which has been highlighted in the photographic report of before and after shots and certificate of cleanliness supplied by System Hygienics. I would also like to thank the office team responsible for scheduling the technicians as our plans were changing from week to week due to circumstances out of our control. The level of understanding was very much appreciated.”

System Hygienics’ JetVent system cleans ventilation ductwork with negligible disruption. Minimal access to ductwork is required, as up to 100 metres can be reached from one point. There is no leakage of contaminants, and cleaning is achieved quickly and efficiently.

Mike continued: “The conventional vessels Condor Ferries operates will require vent cleaning every two years when entering dry docks and I would not hesitate to contact System Hygienics when dates become available.”

System Hygienics is a member of the Hotchkiss Group, which provides specialist services in ductwork contracting, fire-resistant duct systems, ventilation products and accessories and fire-resistant and acoustic ductwork coatings.
