Overview

About our Afloat Ship Repair Services

Our Process

From First Enquiry to Final Follow-Up

A straightforward working method, so you always know where a requirement stands and who is handling it.
  1. 01

    Requirement & Enquiry

    You tell us the vessel, the port or position, the dates and what is needed. Enquiries reach us by phone, e-mail or the form on this site, and our 24 / 7 contact is published for anything urgent.

  2. 02

    Technical Assessment

    We review the scope against what the job actually involves — drawings or samples for fabrication, specifications for spares, quantities for stores, access and timing for work alongside.

  3. 03

    Quotation & Planning

    You receive a quotation covering the agreed scope, together with the plan for how and when it will be carried out.

  4. 04

    Coordination & Preparation

    Boats, tugs, barges and cranes are arranged where required. Spares and stores are cleared, warehoused and consolidated so the vessel receives one coordinated delivery.

  5. 05

    Service Execution

    The work is carried out — crew movements, supply, fabrication or afloat repair — with our team coordinating between the vessel, the port and the contractors involved.

  6. 06

    Completion & Follow-Up

    Delivery is confirmed, documentation is passed back, and we stay reachable for anything arising after the call.
