A mission across time zones
Swift response and unwavering dedication are essential qualities for a service engineer.
“There are so many opportunities in this job,” says Markus.
This time, his assignment involved:
- Implementing a temporary remote solution for Ocean Victory before departure.
- Installing two new controllers, correcting configurations, and performing onboard testing.
- Conducting a full system inspection on Ocean Albatros ahead of her scheduled dry dock upgrade in April/May 2026.
- Resolving additional technical issues requested by the chief.
Although Markus made the journey alone, he had strong backup from the support teams at Ulstein Power & Control office and BlueCtrl whenever needed, a true example of teamwork across continents.
