Marine services

Marine services can perform emergency repairs, periodic maintenance, or complete overhauls. Boats and ships require marine services while underway, at pier side, and during periods of reduced operating status (such as between charters or shipping seasons). Most oceangoing vessels require trips to special drydock facilities at regular intervals. Drydocks are basins that are used for shipbuilding or ship repair activities below a vessel’s waterline. They are flooded so that the ship can be floated in, and are then drained so that the ship comes to rest on a dry platform. Tasks done at drydock include the removal of biological growths from a ship’s hull, sandblasting and repainting the hull, and replacing the sacrificial anodes that are used to protect submerged equipment from corrosion.

Drydock services may also perform major repairs to a ship’s propulsion and steering systems, as well as to its major electrical systems. Marine propulsion systems consist of induction motors, generators, switchboards, and integrated automation systems. Marine steering systems include marine products and equipment for hydraulic steering and mechanical steering, as well as rudders and tiller arms. Marine services that specialize in drydock repairs and drydock maintenance may specialize in the repair and maintenance of complete propulsion systems, or individual components. Similarly, marine services that repair a ship’s electrical systems can maintain either complete systems or individual subsystems. We also provide offshore services such as, oil transportation, freight transportation, vessel manning, and brokering services. Offshore services are fabricators for the oil and gas industry. .
