Alfa Laval Sets Up New Persian Gulf Service Center Alfa Laval Middle East Ltd. re- cently relocated from Cyprus to Dubai. The new Marine Service Center offers total support for Alfa Laval customers in the Persian Gulf. In the past, Alfa Laval says its customers had to settle for emer- gency repairs in the Gulf, waiting until they reached European or Far Eastern ports with an Alfa Laval service center before carrying out more demanding jobs. Ake Rudestad, president of Alfa Laval Middle East, says the new service center provides full support for spare parts, service and technical advice. "The Center has qualified engineers capable of servicing and repairing all Alfa Laval engine room compo- nents and systems, including fuel and lube oil separation systems, thermal equipment and freshwater generators." The intention is to create a service center of the same caliber of other Alfa Laval service centers.
