Whatever fails on board, we bring the right people to the ship.

Engine overhauls, welding and steel work, deck machinery, electrical faults, class findings, shipyard support. One desk organises it, vetted specialists do it, one report documents it — in Hamburg within hours, across Europe within a day, worldwide by the next flight.

What we cover

Not only engines. Everything that stops a ship.

Most calls start with a main or auxiliary engine. Just as often the real problem is a cracked bracket, a crane cylinder, a switchboard or a class finding that has to be closed before departure. We cover all of it with the same desk and the same report.

Engines

Two-stroke main engines

Overhauls, running repairs, crankshaft deflections and condition surveys on the main propulsion engine.

Engines

Four-stroke main and auxiliary engines

Top overhauls, liner and piston renewal, bearing inspection, fuel system work, alignment.

Machinery

Turbochargers, separators, pumps, compressors

Inspection, overhaul and balancing of turbochargers; purifier overhauls; pump and starting-air compressor repairs.

Steel

Welding and steel work

Certified welders for hull, deck and tank repairs, pipe renewal, brackets, foundations and class-approved doubler and insert plates.

Deck

Deck machinery, cranes and hatch covers

Hydraulic cylinders, winches, windlasses, crane jibs and slewing rings, hatch cover packing and cleats — repaired on board or exchanged.

Electrical

Electricians and automation engineers on board

Fault-finding on switchboards, generators, motors, alarm and control systems, in any European port or wherever she is.

Systems

Boilers, heat exchangers, pipework

Retubing, pressure tests, cooler cleaning, pipe fabrication and replacement including class witnessing.

Class & flag

Class findings and survey attendance

A condition of class or a PSC deficiency in port: our specialists attend, fix, document and close the item with the surveyor.

Yard

Shipyard and drydock support

Owner’s representative, work supervision and specialist teams alongside the yard, through partners who know the yard and the class rules.

Where we work

Hamburg first, Europe fast, worldwide by flight.

Engineers, welders and electricians available on short notice for vessels calling Hamburg, Bremerhaven, Rotterdam, Antwerp and the Baltic ports.

Specialists travel to any European port, including yards, typically within 24 hours of a confirmed order. For a class problem or a breakdown far from home, the right people sit on the next flight.

How it works

From job description to engineer on board.

What “vetted” means: references on the specific equipment, class approvals and OEM training where applicable, specialist partner companies for two-stroke and four-stroke engines, response within four working hours, report within 48 hours after the job.

01

Describe the job

Equipment, vessel, port, dates — a photo of the problem helps.

02

We assign the specialist

A vetted partner with references on that equipment; you get a named engineer, an ETA and a price before anyone travels.

03

One report

Every job is documented in the OceanSphere report standard with measurements and photos, whoever does the work.

Field photos

Real jobs, photographed by our own people.

No stock photography — every photo below was taken on one of our own service jobs. Faces, ship names and customers are deliberately kept out of the frame.

Frequently asked

Three things people ask first.

Is a request binding?

No. A request is not an order — we come back to you with a quote first. Orders for field service, supplies and technical services are then subject to our General Terms of Business.

Where do you work?

Hamburg and the North Range on short notice, any European port within about 24 hours of a confirmed order, and worldwide by the next flight when a class problem or a breakdown can’t wait.

What does “vetted” mean?

References on the specific equipment, class approvals and OEM training where applicable, and a response within four working hours. A chief engineer with sea time on two-stroke and four-stroke plants leads every job.
