Maintenance on time is the cheapest work on an engine
Everything skipped shows up later as an overhaul. We carry out planned maintenance to the engine builder’s running-hour intervals, and we do it in a way that produces usable data: clearances measured and recorded, wear rates tracked visit over visit, findings written down. Over a few intervals that turns into a picture of how your engine is actually ageing, which is what lets you plan an overhaul instead of reacting to one. Work can be carried out during a port call, at anchor, during a yard period or under way, depending on the scope and the safety situation.
Scope
- Running-hour based maintenance packages
- Cylinder head and valve service, valve clearance setting
- Fuel injector and injection pump service and calibration
- Piston ring and liner inspection, wear measurement
- Bearing clearance checks and crankshaft deflection readings
- Turbocharger inspection, cleaning and bearing service
- Cooler cleaning and pressure testing
- Governor and safety system function testing
- Performance measurement and indicator diagrams
What you get
A service report per visit with measurements against tolerance, work performed, parts consumed, findings that need attention before the next interval, and a recommended scope for the next one.
