UPR supports the new build of vessels where shore power is unavailable. Power can be used for a long host of equipment applications such as for compressed air and welding of steel plates, short blasting and spray painting, lifting heavy items among many others.

For completed vessels, UPR provides load testing services to confirm the performance of the large capacity turbines installed on board. These turbines may be rated at different voltages, depending on the types of vessels built and their uses. UPR’s load banks can be connected with our purposeful designed transformers for the test. Our testing capacity for vessel turbines exceed 70MVA and that is sufficient for all types of special purpose vessels like drilling rigs, semi-submersibles, FSO, and FPSO.

In 2007 to 2008 during the initial construction phase of Hanjin’s shipyard in Subic Bay, Philippines, UPR was also involved in the project by supplying them with some 17MW of power.
