Vessel Repair Solutions
24/7 afloat and in-dock repair at any port worldwide.
When a vessel is alongside, at anchor or in dock, every hour of downtime carries a cost. ShipSmith mobilises repair teams around the clock to handle routine maintenance, urgent breakdowns and complex multi-trade overhauls, working to the vessel’s class requirements and the owner’s schedule. From a single seized valve to a full machinery casualty, our coordinators arrange labour, materials, class attendance and port logistics in one package, so the superintendent has a single point of accountability rather than a dozen sub-contractors to chase.
