Marine Diesel Engine Overhauls for Superyachts

Define the overhaul before work begins

The starting point is the engine’s identity, hours, maintenance history, condition and reason for the proposed intervention. A scheduled overhaul, a component failure and a condition-led repair can require different approaches. We review available records and agree what needs to be inspected or measured before finalizing the scope.

An overhaul may involve disassembly, component inspection, replacement or reconditioning arrangements, reassembly and verification, depending on the engine and agreed job. Specialist machining, lifting or workshop requirements are assessed as part of the project rather than assumed to be available on every vessel.

Coordinate people, parts and access

Large engine-room projects demand more than mechanical skill. Access routes, lifting plans, work areas, parts lead times and the activities of other trades all affect the schedule. We help organize the work so the Chief Engineer and project manager can follow the sequence and understand dependencies.

Where a project also involves mounts, couplings or generator installations, alignment should be considered within the wider plan.

Verification and handover

The agreed handover should explain the work completed, findings, relevant measurements, checks performed and outstanding recommendations. Commissioning and operational testing are planned to suit the equipment and vessel conditions.
