WHAT THE CUSTOMER NEEDS TO KNOW

From fault diagnosis through overhaul and reinstatement.

Propulsion work is often technically demanding because interfaces between engines, gearboxes, shafts, thrusters and controls must be considered together. KME supports defined repair scopes, component servicing, machining where required and appropriate checks during reassembly.


Service focus

Engines & auxiliaries

Repair objective

Defined scope, verified completion and clear handover

SCOPE OF SERVICE

Mechanical and propulsion repair scope

Specific work is agreed against the vessel’s condition, repair specification, applicable requirements and available access.

01 / REPAIR SCOPE

Main & auxiliary engines
Inspection, servicing, top-overhaul work and component maintenance to the agreed scope and relevant manufacturer guidance.


Assessment and in-situ servicing of accessible engines, auxiliaries, pumps, valves and other mechanical equipment.


02 / REPAIR SCOPE

CPP systems
Hub, blade, sealing and pitch-mechanism inspection and overhauling, with component restoration and reassembly as required.



03 / REPAIR SCOPE

Azimuth and transverse thrusters
Troubleshooting and overhaul work on azimuth, bow and stern thrusters, including related mechanical components.

Investigate

Review symptoms, machinery history, drawings, measurements and operating constraints.


04

Align & verify

Undertake applicable alignment, setting, testing and commissioning support, followed by completion records.


03 

Restore & rebuild

Service, renew or machine affected components, then reassemble to the applicable technical requirements.



02 

Open & assess

Disassemble as agreed, inspect components and document condition and repair recommendations.



WORKFLOW PRINCIPLE Each assignment is scoped and scheduled according to its actual technical and operational requirements.


QUALITY & COMPLETION

Precision and technical verification

Overhaul work is supported by documented findings, component inspection, dimensional verification and appropriate functional checks before equipment is returned to service.

Condition records

Measurements, findings and repair recommendations captured during opening-up and inspection.

Mechanical tolerances

Fit, clearance and alignment checks appropriate to each equipment type and repair scope.

Recommissioning

Specified function checks, tests and collaboration with vessel or OEM representatives when required.
