Class renewal repairs are a key and mandatory part of keeping marine vessels in good working order and ensuring their compliance with the requirements of classification societies such as Lloyd’s Register, Det Norske Veritas and PRS.
With many years of experience in the industry, a team of specialists, workshop facilities and cooperation with recognised local partners, we provide full support in the repair, maintenance and class surveys of vessels.
We offer diagnosis, service and maintenance of engines, turbines, pumps, windlasses and cranes, including the reconditioning of worn parts to restore equipment to full working order.
Working in close cooperation with trusted subcontractors, we coordinate and supervise the steel works in scope of class renewal repairs.
We specialise in the comprehensive servicing of hydraulic systems on marine vessels, including repairs to pumps, cylinders and lifting equipment. Our services include diagnostics, repairing leaks, calibrating control systems, carrying out pressure tests and replacing key components such as pipelines, hoses, cylinders, valves or pumps.
We offer repair and maintenance of electrical systems on marine vessels, including control panels, navigation equipment and air-conditioning and ventilation systems.
We take care of the docking of vessels and the full coordination and supervision of class repairs, ensuring that all repair work is carried out efficiently and comprehensively, according to standards and schedules. For class refurbishments, we act as the main contractor, managing the process from start to finish and ensuring full control over the quality and timeliness of the services.
Contact us for more information on our class renewal repairs and dry-dock services and to see how we can help keep your vessel in excellent condition.
We have fully equipped, in-house workshop and storage halls, as well as dedicated test stations for repaired equipment. Additionally, our portable technical facilities enable us to provide servicing and repairs in ports and shipyards worldwide. We possess a range of diagnostic and measurement devices that allow us to conduct on-site diagnostics directly at the client’s location.
Our capabilities include:
Every vessel is subject to periodic surveys required by its classification society. If an inspection identifies components that need to be repaired or replaced, the necessary work must be completed before the class renewal process can be finalised.
Not always. Some work can be completed before or after the docking period. However, repairs involving the hull or components located below the waterline are typically performed while the vessel is in dry dock.
There is no single answer, as every vessel has a different operational history. In some cases, mechanical equipment requires attention, while in others the scope of work focuses more on hydraulic systems, electrical installations, or structural components.
No, this is not a requirement. However, appointing one contractor often makes the entire process easier to manage. A single contractor can coordinate the work, communicate with subcontractors, and ensure that the project stays on schedule.
Several factors are taken into account. These include the survey findings, the recommendations issued by inspectors, and the actual condition of the vessel’s equipment and onboard systems.
Yes. Preparing a work plan helps organise each stage of the project and reduces the risk of unnecessary delays. A well-structured schedule also makes it easier to coordinate everyone involved in the repair process.
The main advantage is time savings. Since the vessel is already in dry dock, many shipowners choose to combine mechanical, hydraulic, and electrical repairs instead of scheduling additional maintenance periods later.
Yes. Repaired systems and equipment undergo inspections and testing to confirm that they operate as intended and are ready to be returned to service.
Leaving repairs until the last moment can make the docking process more difficult to organise and may extend the vessel’s downtime. Early planning helps streamline the entire project and ensures that the required repairs can be completed more efficiently.
No. Although the overall procedure follows classification requirements, the scope of work is always tailored to the individual vessel. Factors such as its technical condition, previous repairs, and recommendations issued during inspections are all taken into consideration.
