Equipment Refurbishment
Extend the life of critical assets instead of replacing them.
Replacing a major piece of equipment is expensive, slow and often unnecessary. ShipSmith refurbishes critical onboard assets - pumps, compressors, heat exchangers, separators, motors, valves and more - back to reliable service, and holds refurbished units ready for exchange when downtime cannot wait. Each unit is stripped, inspected against OEM limits, repaired or re-machined, fitted with new wear parts and seals, then function-tested before return. We offer both refurbishment of the owner’s own equipment and supply of pre-refurbished exchange units, giving a cost-effective, faster alternative to new while restoring genuine reliability.

A clear, four-step path
One accountable partner from first assessment to documented handover.
-
Assess
The unit is inspected and measured to confirm what can be restored and what must be renewed.
-
Refurbish
Worn components are re-machined or replaced and the unit is rebuilt to OEM specification.
-
Test & return
The refurbished unit is performance-tested and returned with a full report, or supplied as an exchange unit.
-
Reinstate & document
The unit is reinstated and proven in service, with the refurbishment report listing replaced parts, readings and results handed to the vessel.
