Ship repair and maintenance across the Caribbean

Certified repairs and maintenance near all major Caribbean ports. Avoid drydock, minimize downtime, reduce costs.

The challenge of ship repairs in the Caribbean

When a vessel suffers a breakdown in the Caribbean, shipowners face a unique set of challenges. Local providers often lack certified teams, reliable spare parts, or the ability to respond quickly. Entering drydock is costly and may force ships to deviate from their planned routes, resulting in lost time and profits.

At Sym Naval, we solve these problems with qualified and experienced specialists. We offer certified afloat repairs wherever your ship is anchored, ensuring quality work, clear communication, and rapid assistance. This means your vessel is back on course with minimum disruption.

Hull and Structures

We perform steel renewal and hull repairs on damaged or corroded areas through localized interventions. No need for drydocking—our team works while your vessel remains afloat, ensuring fast, effective results and minimizing downtime.

Hydraulic Systems

We service and repair hydraulic components and systems—including pumps, actuators, and piping—directly on your vessel. Our interventions restore functionality with minimal disruption to your ship’s operations.

Electrical and Automation

We diagnose and repair all types of electrical and automation systems on board, from main switchboards to navigation electronics. Our work keeps your ship operating safely and efficiently.

Piping and Valves

We repair and modify all types of piping systems, including fuel, ballast, cooling and service pipes. We also service and replace valves, restoring circuit operability without affecting vessel operations.

Marine engines

We repair and maintain marine engines and propulsion components, restoring full performance and reliability. Our technicians resolve breakdowns and perform preventive maintenance while your vessel is afloat.
