Professional Provision Store Refrigeration & Cold Room Service in Mombasa
Uninterrupted preservation of meat, fish, dairy, and fresh produce inside shipboard cold rooms is vital for crew nutrition and morale during extended maritime voyages. When provision compressors fail, cold room temperatures rise, or evaporator coils ice up during a port stay in Mombasa, swift technical restoration is mandatory to prevent massive food spoilage. Since 2011, Mombasa Ship Services has coordinated specialized provision store refrigeration and cold room service operations for international merchant shipping.
We connect global shipowners with experienced marine refrigeration technicians in Kenya capable of troubleshooting multi-compartment provision plants (meat, fish, and vegetable lockers), ship's galley refrigerators, and dedicated ice-making equipment. Our technical coordination network ensures rapid onboard attendance and reliable temperature recovery.
Comprehensive Provision Plant Maintenance Scope
Cold storage systems operate under strict temperature thresholds and require meticulous mechanical care. Our specialized service scope covers:
Cold Room Temperature Recovery & Diagnostics: Troubleshooting erratic thermostat controls, faulty solenoid valves, and failed door gasket seals causing thermal leakage.
Evaporator & Condenser Coil Maintenance: Defrosting iced-up evaporator coils, checking defrost heater performance, and chemically cleaning air-cooled or sea-water-cooled condensers.
Compressor Mechanical & Electrical Overhauls: Servicing semi-hermetic refrigeration compressors, replacing burnt contactors, resetting high/low pressure safety cut-outs, and renewing crankcase heaters.
Refrigerant Circuit Leak Isolation: Locating refrigerant leaks within cold room evaporator piping, brazing cracked joints, and vacuum testing circuits prior to gas recharging.
