Main Engine Surveys
The main engine is the heart of any commercial vessel. Our main engine surveys cover:
- Performance Assessment: Verifying efficiency, fuel consumption, and operating parameters.
- Component Integrity Checks: Inspecting critical parts such as cylinders, pistons, turbochargers, and cooling systems.
- Wear and Tear Analysis: Identifying early signs of degradation to prevent costly failures.
- Compliance Checks: Ensuring adherence to emissions regulations and environmental standards.
Auxiliary Systems Inspections
Supporting systems are vital for seamless operations. Our inspections include:
- Generators and Electrical Systems: Evaluating power generation and distribution systems for reliability.
- Pumps and Hydraulic Systems: Ensuring proper function and efficiency.
- Refrigeration and HVAC Systems: Checking for optimal performance and compliance with safety standards.
- Fuel and Lubrication Systems: Inspecting for leaks, wear, and compliance with safety guidelines.
Hull Integrity Surveys
The hull is your ship’s primary defence against the elements. We provide:
- Visual and Structural Inspections: Identifying damage, corrosion, or weaknesses in the hull.
- Ultrasonic Thickness Measurements (UTM): Assessing metal thickness to detect wear or corrosion.
- Coating Condition Checks: Ensuring protective coatings are intact to prevent further deterioration.
- Underwater Inspections: Conducted in collaboration with professional divers or remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) as needed.
