Ship maintenance
Our network of shipyards offers world-class maintenance services for all types of ship, from the shortest stopovers to extended programmes including special and intermediate class surveys. From the largest and most complex mechanical items such as engines, thrusters, propulsion systems and cranes to navigation, automation, IT and safety systems, together with our industry partners we provide a complete one-stop service that will ensure that your vessels leave our yards at peak efficiency and class-compliant. Servicing, overhauls, upgrades, repairs or mobilisations for the next project, we handle them all. When it comes to keeping the exterior in top shape and looking good, we deliver steel works to the highest standards plus cleaning, painting and polishing.
Whatever the task, we have the facilities and experience to ensure that downtime is kept to the absolute minimum. We also offer a range of vessel maintenance solutions for regular customers that include predictive, preventative, and condition-based packages so as to all but eliminate the risk of equipment failure. Whether it’s a container ship, an LNG carrier, a naval frigate, a fishing boat or a fully-rigged ship, we are ready to meet your needs.
