Auxiliary Marine Boiler Repair for Offshore Projects and Drydocks

Auxiliary marine boilers are a vital part of any vessel’s operational ecosystem, providing steam for multiple critical services such as fuel oil heating, main engine jacket cooling system deaeration, cargo tank heating, accommodation heating, freshwater generation, and other shipboard utility requirements. Because they operate under high pressure and high temperature conditions, auxiliary boilers are subject to thermal stresses, scaling, corrosion, and mechanical wear — making periodic inspection and professional repair essential for maintaining reliability and compliance with class and statutory regulations.

For offshore projects and drydock periods, timely and technically sound repair of auxiliary boilers is key to minimizing vessel downtime, reducing operating costs, and ensuring safe, uninterrupted operations.

Mobilization and Offshore Capabilities

Recognizing that many vessels are on tight charter schedules, we offer rapid mobilization teams for voyage and offshore anchorage repairs. Our service engineers and coded welders can travel globally with complete toolkits, welding machines, cutting sets, and consumables. For offshore installations or FPSOs, we provide repair services in compliance with project-specific HSE requirements, work permits, and confined-space entry procedures.

Drydock Repair & Turnkey Solutions

During drydock periods, we undertake major overhauls of auxiliary boilers as part of the vessel’s scheduled maintenance program. Our drydock scope typically covers:

Full internal and external cleaning, including water-side chemical descaling.
Renewal of large sections of tube banks or entire tube nests.
Replacement of safety valves, water level gauges, and blowdown valves.
Renewal of insulation and aluminum cladding around the boiler body.
Class witnessing and certification of all repairs, hydrotests, and safety device calibration.

Quality, Safety, and Compliance
All repair procedures are carried out in accordance with class society requirements (ABS, BV, LR, DNV, NKK) and international codes such as ASME Section I & VIII. Our welders are class-approved, and all welds are subjected to 100% NDT where required. Strict adherence to HSE standards ensures safe execution of work, particularly during confined space entry, hot work in enclosed areas, and offshore lifting operations.

Benefits to Vessel Owners and Operators

By engaging our boiler repair services, shipowners and operators benefit from:

Minimized Downtime: Onboard repairs during voyage or anchorage to avoid deviation from schedule.
Class-Approved Workmanship: Guaranteed compliance with survey requirements, avoiding PSC or class detention.
Extended Boiler Life: Professional repairs restore boiler integrity and thermal efficiency.
Cost Efficiency: Preventive maintenance reduces the risk of expensive emergency breakdowns.
