Keeping a ship running smoothly requires a comprehensive mechanical service plan. This includes routine maintenance tasks like visual inspections to detect wear and tear, cleaning to prevent corrosion, and lubrication to minimize friction.

Regular replacement of parts that have a limited lifespan is crucial to avoid breakdowns. More extensive services may involve repairs to the main engine and its components, pumps, and auxiliary engines.

Skilled mechanics can handle everything from delicate injector timing to complex shaft repairs. Ship mechanical services also encompass metalwork, including welding and fabrication to fix or replace bulkheads, decks, pipes, and other steel structures.

Essentially, these services ensure the ship's mechanical systems function reliably and safely during voyages.
