Afloat ship repairs for anchored vessels in Panama
Hull and Structures
We carry out steel renewal works on damaged or corroded areas through localized interventions that do not require dry docking. These operations are performed at anchor or alongside, allowing for quick, effective repairs that preserve hull integrity and reduce downtime.
Hydraulic Systems
We repair critical hydraulic systems and components, including actuators, pumps, pipes, and connectors. These interventions restore functionality without interrupting vessel operations, whether at anchor or in port.
Electrical and Automation Systems
We perform specialized diagnostics and corrective work on electrical and automation systems to ensure optimal performance and continuity. Each intervention is adapted to the vessel’s needs and operational context.
Piping and Valves
We carry out repairs and modifications on onboard piping systems and perform maintenance on service valves. These operations restore circuit operability efficiently, without affecting the vessel’s main operations.
Propulsion System
While the vessel is at anchor, we can inspect accessible components of the propulsion system and perform minor adjustments or pre-drydock tasks, especially on shaft lines and rudder systems.
Deck Equipment
We maintain and repair deck machinery including cranes, winches, windlasses, and hatch covers, ensuring full equipment readiness for cargo handling, maneuvering or transit—without interrupting operations.
