Rudder repairs

Permanent in-water rudder repairs were previously not possible and ships had to drydock in cases where a major defect was found. We have however designed equipment that allow us to perform permanent rudder repairs on-site. The equipment can be mobilized to any port in the world at moment’s notice. This enables us to offer this service very swiftly on a worldwide basis.

Major defects on rudders very often cause unscheduled drydocking of ships. The technique designed by our R&D department allows engineers, welders and inspectors to perform their tasks in a dry environment with the vessel still afloat.

With the use of our flexible mobdock technique class approved permanent repairs are now possible on-site. Steel repairs and replacements can be performed and other technical defects can be solved without the loss of time and money associated with drydocking.
