Planned properly, an overhaul is a scheduled cost
We plan, staff, execute and document overhauls of main and auxiliary engines. Because our service engineers, workshop and parts supply sit in the same organisation, components come out, go to the bench and go back in without waiting on a third party. An overhaul almost always grows once units are opened up. We quote a defined scope and agree in advance how additional findings are handled and priced, so a discovered liner or bearing does not stall the job for two days of negotiation.
Overhaul types
- Top overhaul – cylinder heads, valves, injectors, piston ring inspection. The routine interval, done well.
- Partial overhaul – pistons and liners drawn, bearings inspected, running gear measured, turbocharger and coolers as required.
- Major overhaul – full disassembly to the engine builder’s schedule, crankshaft measurement, bedplate and frame checks, complete reassembly and trial running.
What is included
- Scope definition and planning against the vessel’s schedule
- Certified service engineers and specialist tooling
- Parts sourcing, kitting and delivery to vessel or yard
- Component reconditioning in our own workshop where economical
- Measurement records and a full overhaul report
- Trial running and performance verification on completion
Where we work
Alongside during a port call, in a yard during a docking or repair period, under way where the engine configuration and safety case allow, and in our own workshop for components and complete small engines.
