Recently Steve Howells and Ollie Haselden
from Marine Electronic Systems (MES), attended the
WAVE RULER in Bermuda and the United States to identify and fix a fault in the X Band
radar system. Despite several
previous service interventions by local support in the US, the fault was
worsening and required Steve and Ollie to sail with the ship and stay on board
for 10 days until a successful outcome was achieved. WAVE RULER is a Wave Knight-class
fast fleet tanker
of the Royal Fleet
Auxiliary (RFA) of the United Kingdom.
Captain Shaun Jones RFA, CO RFA WAVE RULER,
said “I would like to thank MES for rapidly identifying
the fault in WAVE RULER’s X Band radar system and coming up with a rapid,
innovative and successful solution that ensured that the ship can return to
full operational capability within the programme at nil penalty to UK
commitments to APT(N). Not only has full functionality been restored but
also a significant improvement in capability has been provided in a very short
and challenging time scale. We look forward to working with MES in the
future and many thanks to Steve Howells and Ollie Haselden for their
professionalism and friendship during their stay onboard in Bermuda and Norfolk
Virginia, US.”
