Wilhelmsen Ships Service announces price freeze

“Our aim is to continue to offer competitive prices to our customers. Together with our ongoing investment in customer service and the expansion of our global network, this offers our customers a clear opportunity to budget effectively during the current financial climate.” – says David Tandy, President of Wilhelmsen Ships Service.
Wilhelmsen Ships Service has announced a price freeze on thousands of its products with immediate effect. This reflects their continuing policy to adjust prices to reflect market conditions, and to share reduced operating costs and cost savings with customers wherever possible.
Head of Strategic Pricing, Glenn P. L. Davies comments, “Our efforts have been concentrated on negotiating diligently with our suppliers whilst doing all we can to absorb inflation and local cost development.”
As the leading provider of marine products to the world’s fleet, Wilhelmsen Ships Service’s decision to freeze list prices will benefit close to 22.000 vessels. This price freeze is applicable across the whole range of Unitor branded and other marine products.
Wilhelmsen Ships Service has managed to reduce or freeze prices on the environmentally friendly Unicool refrigerants; R-417, R-407c, R-410a. However, for the following Unicool refrigerants; R-507, R-404A, R-22 and R-134a, a price increase is inevitable, due to changes in legislation, cost of raw material and reduced availability.
