Marine Electrical Service & Technical Parts Supply at the Port of Mobile
The Port of Mobile is the only deepwater port in Alabama and one of the fastest-growing container gateways on the Gulf, with the federal channel now dredged to 50 ft to handle Neo-Panamax boxships at APM Terminals. Calls split between APM at Choctaw Point, the McDuffie coal terminal handling Panamax and Capesize bulkers loading export met-coal, and the Pinto Island bulk and steel terminals serving the AM/NS Calvert plant. Tanker calls cluster around the Theodore Industrial Canal. Most electrical attendances happen alongside — Mobile Bay is exposed and anchorage work is weather-limited — though we do attend at Lower Mobile anchorage when vessels stage for berth. Common faults: shore-power synchronizing issues on container ships transitioning to cold-ironing trials, dust-ingress on bulker switchgear after extended coal loading, and bridge nav alarms (Furuno, JRC) that surface after Mississippi Sound shoal-water transits. We work routine class attendance for ABS, DNV and ClassNK, and coordinate parts through Mobile Regional and the Brookley cargo complex.

What we typically get called for at Mobile.
Capesize coal bulker switchboard earth fault at McDuffie
Vessel reports random 6.6kV earth-fault trips after 36-hour loading window. We open the MSB, find conductive coal dust bridging busbar standoffs, perform pressure-air clean and re-megger, restore insulation values above 100 MΩ and document for the ClassNK attending surveyor.
Container ship shore-power sync failure at APM
Neo-Panamax boxship attempts cold-ironing connection and shore breaker trips on out-of-phase. We verify phase rotation, recalibrate the synchronizing relay, reset the protection trip, and supervise successful parallel transfer ahead of the next inbound rotation.
