Windlass Claw Coupling Renewal
Windlass claw coupling renewal is an essential maintenance activity in marine operations, ensuring the effective functioning of the anchoring system. The claw coupling connects the windlass motor to the gearbox, transmitting power for anchor handling. Over time, wear and tear can lead to misalignment, vibration, or failure. Renewal involves dismantling the old coupling, inspecting associated components, and fitting a new coupling to restore smooth and reliable operation, thereby enhancing the safety and efficiency of anchoring procedures.
PBCF Installation
PBCF (Propeller Boss Cap Fins) installation is a marine energy-saving modification aimed at improving propeller efficiency and reducing fuel consumption. The PBCF is fitted to the propeller boss cap and works by reducing the hub vortex, which minimizes energy loss and enhances thrust. Installation involves precise alignment and securing of the fins onto the propeller cap, following vessel-specific design requirements. This upgrade contributes to improved propulsion performance, lower emissions, and overall operational cost savings.
Propeller Blades Repair & Dye Penetrant Test
Propeller blade repair and dye penetrant testing are crucial procedures to ensure the integrity and performance of a vessel’s propulsion system. Repairs involve addressing damages such as cracks, dents, or bends on the blades, often through grinding, welding, or reshaping. Following the repair, a dye penetrant test is conducted to detect surface cracks or defects that may not be visible to the naked eye. This non-destructive testing method ensures the reliability and safety of the propeller before the vessel returns to operation.
Aluminium Ladder Repairs and Renewal Works
Aluminium ladder repairs and renewal works are essential for maintaining safe and reliable access on board marine vessels. Repairs may involve straightening bent sections, replacing damaged rungs, and reinforcing weakened joints. When ladders are beyond repair, renewal includes fabricating and installing new aluminium ladders to meet safety standards and vessel specifications. These works ensure crew safety, especially in critical access areas such as engine rooms, decks, and accommodation spaces.
Aluminium Ladder Renewal & Load Test
Aluminium ladder renewal and load testing are vital for ensuring safe access and compliance with marine safety standards. Renewal involves the fabrication and installation of new aluminium ladders to replace corroded, deformed, or damaged ones. After installation, a load test is conducted to verify the structural integrity and load-bearing capacity of the ladder. This test ensures the ladder can safely support the required weight under operational conditions, guaranteeing crew safety and vessel readiness.
Overboard Pipe Spool Renewal / Coating Works
Overboard pipe spool renewal and coating works are essential for maintaining the integrity of a vessel’s discharge system. Renewal involves the removal of corroded or damaged pipe spools and the installation of new ones fabricated to precise specifications. Once fitted, internal and external surfaces are coated with marine-grade protective coatings to prevent corrosion from seawater exposure. These works ensure reliable overboard discharge operations and help maintain compliance with environmental and safety regulations.

S.W Pipe Spools & Overboard Pipe Spool Renewal
Sea Water (S.W) pipe spools and overboard pipe spool renewal are critical maintenance tasks in marine systems to ensure the efficient flow and discharge of seawater used for cooling and other operations. Renewal involves removing corroded or damaged spools, fabricating replacements from corrosion-resistant materials, and securely installing them. Special attention is given to overboard spools due to their constant exposure to seawater; proper sealing and marine-grade protective coatings are applied to prevent leaks and corrosion. These works help maintain system reliability and compliance with environmental standards.
Sea Chest Filter Casing
The sea chest filter casing is a vital component in a vessel’s seawater intake system, designed to house filters that prevent debris and marine organisms from entering and damaging onboard systems. Regular inspection and maintenance of the casing are essential to ensure structural integrity and effective filtration. If the casing is corroded or damaged, it may require repair or complete renewal. Proper maintenance ensures uninterrupted seawater flow for cooling and other essential operations, contributing to the overall safety and efficiency of the vessel.
Anchor Repair and Renewal
Anchor repair and renewal are crucial for maintaining the safety and operational readiness of a vessel’s anchoring system. Repair work involves inspecting the anchor for wear, corrosion, or damage, followed by cleaning, welding, or reshaping as needed. When anchors are beyond repair, renewal includes replacing them with new, properly sized anchors to meet the vessel’s specifications. These activities ensure reliable anchoring performance, secure mooring, and compliance with maritime safety standards.
Anchor & Anchor Chain Renewal
Anchor and anchor chain renewal is a vital maintenance process to ensure the safe and effective mooring of a vessel. Renewal involves replacing worn, corroded, or damaged anchors and chains with new, high-quality components that meet the vessel’s specifications and safety standards. This process helps prevent failures during anchoring operations, enhances holding power, and ensures compliance with maritime regulations, ultimately contributing to the vessel’s overall safety and operational reliability.
Structural Works
Structural works on a vessel involve the repair, modification, or fabrication of the ship’s framework and supporting components. This includes tasks such as reinforcing hull sections, repairing bulkheads, decks, and frames, or installing new structural elements to maintain the vessel’s strength and integrity. Proper execution of structural works ensures the safety, stability, and longevity of the ship, as well as compliance with classification society standards and regulatory requirements.

Lifeboat Davit Arm Repair Work
Lifeboat davit arm repair work is essential for maintaining the safe launch and recovery of lifeboats during emergencies. This process involves inspecting the davit arm for cracks, corrosion, or mechanical damage, followed by necessary repairs such as welding, reinforcement, or part replacement. Proper repair ensures the davit’s structural integrity and reliable operation, which is critical for crew safety and compliance with maritime safety regulations.
Collision Damage
Collision damage refers to structural or mechanical harm sustained by a vessel due to impact with another ship, object, or structure. This damage can affect the hull, decks, internal frames, propulsion systems, and other critical components. Repairing collision damage involves a thorough assessment, cutting and replacing deformed or compromised steel sections, realigning structures, and restoring affected systems to their original condition. Prompt and professional repair is essential to ensure the vessel’s seaworthiness, safety, and compliance with classification society standards.
