About Cold World
We service, repair and install refrigeration, air conditioning and ventilation on ships.
Working in ships' engine rooms since 2014
We started with conversions. New environmental rules were phasing out old refrigerants, and shipowners needed someone to convert their systems to approved alternatives.
Today we design, install and service refrigeration and air conditioning on all types of vessels. We work on board, in shipyards and in our own workshop, where we overhaul compressors.

We work wherever the ship is
We plan each trip around the ETA, and if the ship cannot wait, the technician sails with her. Our technicians speak English with the crew, and for work on offshore units and wind farms we have two people with offshore training.
Gdynia, Gdańsk, Szczecin
Rotterdam, Hamburg, Bremerhaven, Norway, France, Spain, United Kingdom
USA, Asia
All types of vessels, from tugs and yachts to container ships, tankers and offshore units.
Design, installation and overhauls done in-house
Our team includes an engineer, refrigeration technicians and an electrician, so we handle design, installation and controls ourselves. A typical crew on board is 2–3 people, more for larger jobs.
Compressor overhauls
We overhaul compressors on board or in our workshop: Sabroe, Bitzer, Bock, York, Carrier and others.
Danfoss and Carel controls
We replace and set up controllers and electronic expansion valves, and our electrician builds the control panels.
Refrigerants we work with
- R22

- R407F
- R422D
- R448A
- R449A
- R513A
- R134a

Ships on R22 still turn up. Converting a system to an approved refrigerant usually takes 1–2 days.
Copper piping and condensing units
For marine HVAC installation we braze the piping on board or in the shipyard.
Service requests
To book a job, send us the vessel name or IMO number, the port and the ETA. Controller fault codes help us bring the right parts.
