WALE supplies, installs and services space-efficient laundry equipment for vessels, rigs and offshore facilities across Ireland. Every machine is built to perform reliably in compact, remote and demanding onboard environments.
Machine capacity range
Vessels, rigs and offshore facilities have less room to spare than almost any land-based site, but crew still need clean uniforms, bedding and towels turned around reliably, often without access to a service technician at short notice.
WALE supplies commercial washing machines, tumble dryers, ironers and roller irons in compact formats suited to marine and offshore use, from a single vessel utility room to a larger platform facility. Every recommendation accounts for available space and crew numbers.
Why On-Site Laundry
Sending laundry ashore or waiting for a resupply run isn’t practical when crew turnover keeps linen and workwear volume high. Onboard equipment sized correctly for the space available keeps uniforms, bedding and towels in daily rotation without depending on external logistics.
What changes once washing, drying and finishing move on site.
| FACTOR | SENDING ITEMS ASHORE | ONBOARD LAUNDRY EQUIPMENT |
|---|---|---|
| Turnaround time | Depends on resupply runs or shore trips | Same-day, run to your own crew schedule |
| Space required | Not applicable, laundry handled elsewhere | Compact models fitted to available utility space |
| Crew reliance | Waiting on external logistics for clean linen | Clean linen available on demand |
| Reliability | Vulnerable to delays in remote conditions | Built for reliable operation in demanding environments |
| Costs | Ongoing shore-based laundry and logistics costs | Fixed cost after installation |
Four categories of equipment fit most marine and offshore laundry spaces. Capacity and power options are set around crew numbers and available room.
Space-efficient models fit compact utility rooms on vessels and offshore platforms, with capacities from 8kg suited to smaller crews.
Compact, gas or electric models fit tight utility spaces on vessels and rigs, drying crew laundry efficiently.
Compact ironer models fit finishing tasks into tight onboard laundry spaces.
Handles continuous flatwork processing where crew turnover keeps linen volume high, built for reliable operation.
Hygiene & Compliance
Equipment that fails offshore can’t be fixed with a same-day callout the way a land-based site can. WALE specifies machines built to withstand demanding onboard conditions, with servicing planned around your access windows rather than assuming next-day support.
We review daily linen volume, ward layout and your existing electric or gas supply.
We propose compact machine types and capacities matched to your vessel or platform.
Our team fits equipment around your operational schedule and access windows.
Scheduled servicing and rapid-response repairs are planned around your site’s access constraints.
A vessel or platform laundry room carries different pressures to a land-based site. Here is what that means for how WALE works with you.
Compact models that don't compromise on wash quality or capacity.
Machines specified to withstand vibration and remote operation.
Fit-outs timed to your vessel or platform's schedule.
Coverage across all 32 counties, with planning around remote access constraints.
Sales, installation and servicing sit with the same WALE team.
Direct manufacturer backing and warranty support, without a chain of resellers.
Compact marine-suited models take up less floor space than a standard commercial machine, though exact clearance depends on the model chosen. WALE confirms space and installation requirements against your vessel’s layout during the site assessment.
WALE’s nationwide service covers accessible sites across Ireland, though offshore platform servicing depends on access windows and transport arrangements. Our team plans maintenance schedules around your platform’s logistics during the initial site assessment and ongoing service planning.
Equipment specified for marine use accounts for motion and vibration during operation, unlike a standard commercial machine built for a static land-based site. WALE recommends models and mounting suited to your vessel’s typical conditions at sea.
Yes. WALE supplies and specifies laundry equipment for offshore platforms alongside vessels, with capacity and layout recommendations based on crew numbers, available utility space and the access constraints particular to your type of site involved.
