Challenge
MT High SD Yihe required a fast, effective solution to replace the VDR battery and complete the Annual Performance Test during a one-day port call at Pembroke. A full VDR Float Free Unit replacement was recommended, but this option was expensive and would cause significant delays.
Results
By coordinating with the VDR manufacturer and sourcing a battery replacement service kit from Jotron, Anglo-Eastern Tanker Management achieved significant cost savings of approximately 4,100 EUR, with an additional 350 EUR saved in delivery costs. This timely solution ensured that the vessel could depart as scheduled, meeting tight operational deadlines.

The Challenge
MT High SD Yihe faced a critical operational challenge. The vessel required an immediate solution for replacing the VDR battery and completing the Annual Performance Test while docked at the port of Pembroke. The vessel had a very tight one-day window to perform these tasks. The existing service report recommended a full replacement of the VDR Float Free Unit, which was both expensive and time-consuming, potentially causing delays and increased operational costs.
The Solution
We drew on our technical expertise to deliver a cost-effective and timely solution. By coordinating directly with the VDR manufacturer and securing a battery replacement service kit from Jotron Tron40S, we successfully addressed the issue without requiring a full unit replacement. This approach not only resulted in significant cost savings but also ensured the solution was implemented within the vessel’s tight operational window.
“We are extremely satisfied with the prompt and cost-effective solution provided by Selene Marine. Their quick action saved us both time and money,” stated by the Master of MT High SD Yihe.
The Results
The results were exceptional. Our innovative approach saved the customer approximately 4,100 EUR, with an additional 350 EUR saved in delivery costs. We completed the entire process within a single day, ensuring the vessel could depart on schedule without any chartering delays. ensuring the vessel could depart on schedule without any chartering delays.
