Green Point UK operates as the dedicated service and remanufacturing division of a major global compressor manufacturer, established to provide aftermarket care that mirrors original production standards. Located in Milton Keynes, the company serves as the authorized competence center for the United Kingdom, specializing in the complete overhaul and recovery of refrigeration and air conditioning compressors. Within the maritime and offshore industries, the company fulfills a critical function by ensuring the continuous operation of essential cooling systems on cargo ships, cruise liners, and oil and gas platforms.
The harsh operational conditions of the marine environment - characterized by high humidity, salinity, and constant vibration—place immense stress on refrigeration machinery. Green Point UK mitigates the risk of equipment failure through a rigorous remanufacturing process that replaces worn components exclusively with genuine parts. This adherence to Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) specifications ensures that rebuilt units deliver the same performance and efficiency as new machinery, a crucial factor for vessels where reliability is non-negotiable and technical support at sea is limited.
Recognizing the time-sensitive nature of maritime logistics, where port stays are often measured in hours, the company maintains a strategic inventory of ready-to-install exchange compressors. This logistical readiness enables ship managers to swap out defective units immediately, drastically reducing vessel downtime and preventing the spoilage of temperature-sensitive cargo. The organization also supports the offshore sector’s move toward sustainability by offering a viable alternative to scrapping damaged equipment; remanufacturing significantly lowers the carbon footprint associated with producing new heavy machinery.
Beyond physical repairs, Green Point UK extends its maritime support through technical services designed to predict and prevent system outages. These include advanced oil analysis and debris inspection, which provide early warning signs of internal wear. Furthermore, the company conducts specialized training programs for marine engineers, equipping them with the practical knowledge to diagnose faults and maintain systems while at sea. By acting as a technical bridge between the vessel and the manufacturer, Green Point UK ensures that maritime operators can maintain the integrity of their thermal management systems throughout the vessel's operational life.
