Our Services
Comprehensive marine and engineering support for vessel operations in Nigeria.
Marine Equipment Servicing
Marine equipment servicing encompasses the comprehensive maintenance, repair, and overhaul of critical shipboard machinery including main propulsion engines (port and starboard), auxiliary engines, deck engines, water pumps, heat exchangers, and alternators. This service is required when equipment reaches scheduled overhaul intervals, exhibits performance degradation, or experiences mechanical failures that cannot be resolved through routine maintenance alone.
Marine diesel engines operate under demanding conditions and accumulate wear on internal components over time. Industry standards and manufacturer guidelines typically recommend major servicing interventions based on running hours, with comprehensive overhauls commonly required after approximately 4,000 running hours of operation. Failure to perform timely overhauls can result in catastrophic engine failure, vessel downtime, expensive emergency repairs, and potential safety incidents. Our equipment servicing capability covers the full spectrum of intervention levels, from minor adjustments to complete engine rebuilds.
Types of Engine Overhaul
Top Overhaul
Top overhaul involves dismantling and servicing of cylinder heads, valves, valve seats, rocker arms, and camshaft components without disturbing the main crankcase assembly. This intervention addresses issues in the combustion chamber and valve train, including carbon buildup, valve wear, and cylinder head gasket failures. Cylinder head removal and inspection is a critical component of this process.
Partial Overhaul
Partial overhaul extends beyond the cylinder head to include work on selected pistons, piston rings, connecting rod bearings, and liner inspection, typically targeting specific cylinders exhibiting problems rather than overhauling the entire engine. This approach is used when localized wear or damage is identified through condition monitoring or performance analysis.
Major (Complete) Overhaul
Major or complete overhaul involves full dismantling of the engine, including removal and inspection of all pistons, piston rings, cylinder liners, connecting rods, crankshaft, main bearings, connecting rod bearings, camshaft, fuel injection equipment, and all gaskets and seals. All worn components are replaced or reconditioned, and the engine is reassembled to manufacturer specifications, effectively restoring it to near-original condition.
Typical Scope Includes:
- Pre-overhaul engine inspection and condition assessment
- Systematic dismantling and component documentation
- Measurement and inspection of all critical components
- Replacement of worn bearings, seals, gaskets, and filters
- Cylinder liner honing or replacement as required
- Valve grinding, seat reconditioning, and clearance adjustment
- Fuel injection pump and injector testing and calibration
- Reassembly to manufacturer torque specifications
- Post-overhaul testing, running-in, and performance verification
- Documentation of work performed and components replaced
Service Delivery: Workshop-based for removed engines and major components; vessel alongside for in-situ overhauls where engine removal is not practical.
Marine Engine Maintenance
Marine engine maintenance encompasses the systematic, scheduled servicing activities performed on main and auxiliary diesel engines to preserve operational reliability, prevent premature failures, and extend equipment service life. Unlike reactive servicing that responds to breakdowns, preventive maintenance follows a structured program of inspections, adjustments, lubrication, and minor component replacements carried out at predetermined intervals based on running hours or calendar time.
The operational importance of preventive maintenance cannot be overstated. Marine diesel engines represent significant capital investments and are critical to vessel operations. A well-executed maintenance program identifies developing problems before they escalate into costly failures, maintains engine efficiency and fuel economy, reduces the risk of unexpected breakdowns during operations, and extends the interval between major overhauls. Neglecting routine maintenance accelerates wear, increases the likelihood of catastrophic component failures, and can result in vessel downtime, emergency repair costs, and potential safety hazards. Regular maintenance also maintains engine warranty compliance and preserves asset value.
Our maintenance services follow manufacturer recommended schedules and industry best practices, with particular attention to critical wear points, lubrication systems, cooling systems, and fuel systems. We maintain detailed service records that track engine condition over time and enable predictive maintenance decisions based on actual equipment performance rather than arbitrary calendar intervals.
Typical Scope Includes:
- Regular oil and filter changes per manufacturer schedules
- Fuel system inspection, filter replacement, and water separator servicing
- Cooling system inspection, coolant testing, and heat exchanger cleaning
- Air filter inspection and replacement

Service Delivery: Vessel alongside or at berth; scheduled during planned maintenance windows to minimize operational disruption.
Generator & Power Systems
Generator and power systems services cover the maintenance, repair, and troubleshooting of auxiliary generators, power distribution equipment, switchboards, and electrical systems that provide shipboard electrical power. Reliable electrical power is essential for navigation equipment, communication systems, lighting, accommodation services, and operation of electrically driven machinery. Generator failures can compromise vessel safety and operational capability, making systematic maintenance and prompt repair capability critical.
Our services address both the mechanical aspects of generator sets (including diesel prime movers, cooling systems, and fuel systems) and the electrical components (alternators, voltage regulators, control panels, and distribution equipment). We perform scheduled maintenance to prevent failures, diagnose and repair faults when they occur, and conduct load testing to verify system capacity and performance. Electrical work is performed by qualified personnel familiar with marine electrical standards and safety requirements.
