Denholm Port Services Emergency Electrical Call Out

In the summer of 2024, Datel Electrical’s emergency electrical call out service received a call from Denholm Port Services. The issue? A vessel that was due to leave port within the next four hours was unable to launch due to a suspected electrical fault.

How Did Datel Electrical Help?

If the vessel in question was unable to leave port, not only would this slow operations, it would also have a knock-on effect for any other vessels leaving or arriving at the port whilst the boat was stationary.

This is why it was paramount for our team of highly qualified commercial electricians to complete the necessary electrical investigation, find the source of the overriding issue and get it corrected within four hours.

Due to the size of the vessel and the strict time frame the team was under, they had to work quickly and systematically to find and fix the electrical issues.

To ensure a fast turnaround, the team started by troubleshooting common electrical problems on boats, including:

• Looking for corrosion within the wiring or the connections on the boat
• Checking the battery and the power going to the battery
• Issues with inverter installations, which help boats convert DV battery power to AC power to help run items such as TVs, Microwaves and more
• Faulty electrics or old wiring
• Bow thruster batteries losing their charge

Once the team had established the overarching electrical issue on the boat, (faulty wiring within the breakers, causing the electrics to short circuit) they were able to replace and rewire quickly and efficiently.

Once all repairs were completed, the team disembarked and the carrier boat was able to depart on time, ensuring that there was no overall hold-up either at port or at the carrier’s destination.
