Customer Profile - Inco Ships Australia

Inco Ships is an Australian Ship Management company, who manage and operate  ships from conventional geared bulk carriers, complex self unloading bulk cargo ships, fully automated powder cement carriers and large transshipment projects, in
the Australasian region.

Having felt let down by various Electrical contractors, Inco Ships appointed SAGE Service to support their shipping operations in April 2009.

“The results speak for themselves, from simple electrical work to complex PLC issues, SAGE Service has enabled us to maintain our sailing schedule with timely repairs round the clock, essential as our vessels work around the clock. They have been part of our annual maintenance schedule, providing fault-finding and enable us to run trouble free. More over their team has a positive approach with a gentle smile which make working together a pleasure.”
