KME'S DEDICATED FACILITIES

Built to support work on major marine components.

Kingfisher's Dubai Maritime City base includes enclosed workshop areas for mechanical servicing, fabrication, piping, machining and carpentry. The workshop provides an environment in which significant marine components can be dismantled, inspected, repaired and prepared for refitting.

Specialized propulsion equipment and heavy lifting resources support work that requires more than routine vessel-side servicing.

01Mechanical & propulsion areas — overhaul and machining support for marine machinery

02Fabrication & piping areas — hull, steel, aluminium and pipe repair activities

03Supporting shops — cooler servicing, drilling, carpentry and ancillary preparation

SIGNATURE SPECIALIST CAPABILITY

Propulsion repair support.

The presentation documents an azimuth and propulsion service facility housing a 13 m lathe and 20 t gantry. The facility is described as supporting inspection, troubleshooting, repair and overhaul of azimuth thrusters, CPP systems and propulsion components of DP vessels.

  • AZIMUTH THRUSTERS — Inspection and overhaul support
  • CPP SYSTEMS — Component servicing and machining
  • LARGE COMPONENTS — Handling and workshop preparation

Project connection: Marcap Emdad 5 included CPP, bow and stern thruster overhaul activities, among other mechanical works.
