ComPower Service: Customised Support for Critical Power Systems

Lifecycle service, training and specialist support for demanding maritime, offshore and defence operations.

ComPower AS provides complete service support for the systems we supply, from inspection, planning and recommendations to installation, commissioning, preventive maintenance, repairs, upgrades, replacements and responsible end-of-life handling. Our service work is structured according to ISO 9001, with a strong focus on function, safety, uptime and cost-effective operation.

Specialist expertise throughout the lifecycle
Because we design, build, customise and test our own systems, our service technicians have in-depth knowledge of the equipment, components, software and operational requirements. This enables efficient troubleshooting, reliable maintenance and practical upgrades that reduce downtime and extend system lifetime. Our systems are designed to be clear, well documented, safe for users and service personnel, maintenance-friendly, energy efficient and prepared for future changes. We support customers with both planned work and urgent service needs on ships, rigs, offshore installations and land-based facilities.

Customisation and technical support
ComPower has extensive experience with special adaptations and development projects where standard solutions are not enough. We customise UPS systems, battery-based power supplies, chargers, rectifiers, frequency converters and related power electronics to fit each customer’s technical, operational and regulatory requirements. Our engineering and development services can include function design, programming, component specification, physical design, assembly, testing, EMC requirements, IEC 61508 requirements and other relevant standards. We can also provide temporary solutions during rebuilding, replacement or upgrade projects.

Service capabilities

• Survey and recommendation: Experienced technical engineers assess ships, rigs and land-based installations, identify customer needs and provide clear recommendations.

• Design and engineering: We develop practical, safe and maintainable solutions adapted to each installation.

• Manufacturing and testing: Systems are assembled and tested at our facilities in Bergen before delivery.

• Installation and commissioning: We install and commission complete systems using documented procedures and detailed reporting.

• Preventive maintenance: We help customers identify risk factors and prevent failures before they happen.

• Repairs and troubleshooting: We repair our own and other manufacturers’ equipment, either at our facilities or on site.

• Upgrades and replacements: We rebuild, upgrade and replace systems or components when requirements, efficiency, software or safety needs change.

• Monitoring and surveillance: We can monitor units from land where relevant.

Training for safe and reliable operation
ComPower offers training courses so customer personnel can operate our systems safely and consistently across vessels and installations. Training helps users understand system operation, alarms, maintenance routines and correct handling, reducing operational risk and supporting high uptime.

Maintenance built on practical knowledge
Our technicians know how components can fail, which symptoms indicate potential issues and how faults can be prevented or corrected efficiently. We use structured routines, correct tools and instruments, written procedures, safety barriers and reliable documentation. For batteries, we recommend regular discharge testing with measurements of cell voltage, temperature, capacity, time and current draw to detect battery risks early.
