Our team designs, installs, and dismantles scaffolding structures to ensure safe and efficient access to all areas of the vessel, from the hull and superstructure to confined interior spaces. Using high-quality materials and adhering to strict safety standards, we create customized solutions that facilitate inspections, welding, painting, and other repair tasks. Our commitment to reliability and precision ensures minimal downtime and seamless support for ship maintenance operations.

Wire Spooling and Bollard Pull Test Services

We offer comprehensive wire spooling services to support vessel performance and safety. Our wire spooling services ensure that electrical cables are organized, protected, and properly routed for various systems, preventing damage and ensuring easy deployment during installations. We specialize in efficient and accurate spooling, catering to the unique needs of each ship’s infrastructure.

In addition, our bollard pull test services are designed to measure the maximum pulling force of a vessel's engine or tug. This test is essential for assessing the performance of propulsion systems, ensuring the vessel meets operational standards and is capable of performing under various conditions. Both services are performed with precision and expertise to guarantee the vessel’s reliability, safety, and compliance with maritime regulations.

Hull Repair Works

We specialize in hull repair works to maintain the structural integrity and seaworthiness of vessels. Our services include patching, welding, and plate replacement to address damage caused by corrosion, impacts, or wear. We conduct detailed inspections to identify weaknesses, ensuring repairs meet safety and regulatory standards. Using advanced techniques and high-quality materials, we restore the hull’s strength, water-tightness, and functionality. Whether addressing minor dents or major structural repairs, our team ensures precision and efficiency to minimize downtime and extend the vessel's lifespan.

Shore Cranage Services

Our shore cranage services provide essential lifting and handling support for vessels during maintenance and repair. Using heavy-duty cranes, we efficiently load and unload materials, machinery, and components, as well as position large parts for repair or replacement on the ship. These services are vital for tasks such as moving heavy engines, propulsion systems, or hull sections, ensuring that heavy loads are safely and precisely handled. Our team operates cranes with high levels of expertise and safety, facilitating seamless operations while minimizing downtime during ship repair processes.

High & Ultra High Pressure Washing, Blasting and Painting

We deliver comprehensive high-pressure and Ultra High-pressure washing, blasting, and painting services to restore and protect vessels during repairs. Our high-pressure washing removes marine growth, rust, and grime, preparing surfaces for the next stages. Blasting services, including grit and sandblasting, are employed to strip away corrosion and old coatings, ensuring a clean, smooth foundation. Finally, we apply specialized marine-grade paints and coatings that enhance durability, corrosion resistance, and aesthetic appeal. These services are performed with precision and efficiency, ensuring the vessel’s longevity and compliance with industry standards.

Quality Assurance Quality Confirmation

Our Quality Assurance (QA) and Quality Confirmation (QC) services are integral to ensuring that all ship repair processes meet the highest standards of safety, performance, and compliance. Through rigorous QA procedures, we establish and monitor industry-leading standards across every phase of the repair, from initial assessments to final inspections. Our QC services provide thorough inspections and testing to confirm that all repairs and installations adhere to these standards, preventing defects and ensuring reliability. Together, QA and QC ensure that the vessel is fully operational, safe, and compliant with regulatory requirements before returning to service.

General Ship Repairs Services

We offer a comprehensive range of general ship repair services designed to maintain the performance, safety, and longevity of your vessel. Our services include routine maintenance, structural repairs, electrical and mechanical system overhauls, and emergency repairs. Whether it’s hull repairs, engine diagnostics, system upgrades, or repainting, our team of skilled professionals ensures that every task is completed with the highest standards of quality. We are equipped to handle various types of vessels, from commercial ships to drilling rigs, and provide efficient, cost-effective solutions to meet your specific needs.

Various Testing

We conduct a range of essential tests to ensure vessel safety and performance, including:

  • Non-Destructive Testing (NDT): Detects internal and surface defects without damaging the material.

  • Hydrostatic Testing: Checks for leaks in tanks, pipes, and pressure vessels under high pressure.

  • Load Testing: Verifies the vessel’s ability to safely support cargo and weight distribution.

  • Stability Testing: Assesses the vessel’s balance under static and dynamic conditions.

  • Electrical Testing: Ensures the proper functioning and safety of the ship’s electrical systems.

These tests ensure the vessel meets safety standards and operational reliability.

Afloat Works

Afloat works refer to ship repair and maintenance services performed while the vessel is still afloat, without the need for dry-docking. These services are particularly useful for urgent repairs or when the vessel needs to remain operational. Afloat works typically include hull repairs, painting, cleaning, welding, and maintenance of propulsion and steering systems. It also covers inspections and modifications to the ship’s electrical and mechanical systems. Performing repairs afloat helps minimize downtime and reduces the need for costly dry-docking, ensuring that the vessel can continue its operations while repairs are being carried out.
