Vessels cannot afford extended downtime. At SYM Naval, we offer in-navigation repairs through our Riding Squads, highly qualified mobile teams capable of intervening anywhere in the world while the vessel remains fully operational.
Our technicians handle mechanical, electrical, hydraulic, piping, and steel repairs, ensuring that the vessel continues its route without detours or unnecessary costs.
When a vessel requires repairs but dry docking is not a viable option, SYM Naval offers afloat repairs in port. With proprietary docks and specialized teams, we carry out quick and efficient interventions without unnecessarily disrupting the vessel’s operations.
To ensure fast and effective assistance, SYM Naval has strategic bases in Europe, the Caribbean, and Central America. These locations allow us to perform afloat repairs, technical stops, and port assistance with our own infrastructure and specialized teams.
Our base in Vilanova i la Geltrú is located within the port and features a 170-meter-long proprietary dock, specifically designed to facilitate technical stops and afloat repairs.
Located on one of the world’s busiest maritime routes, this base has proprietary docks and direct access to specialized teams for emergency repairs and technical stops.
