EGCS retrofits are window projects: the dock slot is fixed, and one late delivery delays the whole chain. Across 30 sets supplied for 20+ MSC container vessels, three things decided the outcome.
1. Interchangeable interfaces
Engine-room space is fixed, so base bolt spacing, inlet/outlet flanges and cable entries must match the original machine. We request the original nameplate and layout at quotation stage and select for interchangeability, avoiding hot work on the foundation. GRF-20C / 30C / 270C cover most of these duties.
2. Complete documentation, first time
Owners and societies expect a full set: material certificates, performance and leak test reports, class certificates, EN/CN manuals, wiring and communication point lists. One missing item sends the package back. Every unit is tested before dispatch with the full document set; third-party witnessed testing can be arranged.
3. Deliver to the dock schedule
When several vessels queue for dock slots, production and shipment in batches aligned to the schedule beats building everything at once and storing it quayside.
Send the original nameplate, engine-room layout and dock window — we check interchangeability before quoting.
