Kenneth Arntzen, who has just completed his first year as the Re- frigeration Service manager for North America, says that there is a need for specialized support on most vessels today due to an in- creased demand on the reduced crews and the special skills required to maintain refrigeration systems. Mr. Arntzen also states that Unitor's Preventive Technical In- spection/Service and Repair (PTI/ SAR) program is widely accepted as a means to reduce operation costs and increase system reliability.
