Overhaul of all parts of the engine over a period of years to bring the engines slowly back to original as new condition

Vessel: MY Cassiopeia - Location: Genoa, Italy

Engine Type: 8L3B Twin Main propulsion engines with Gardner 3UC reversing and reducing gearbox

We have been looking after this vessel and supplying service and emergency call out services to MY Cassiopeia for almost 10 years. During those 10 years, we have systematically overhauled many parts of the engines as and when needed and also substantial preventative maintenance, as downtime for the owners is not an option. Some of the work has included removal of starboard side crankshaft for re-grind, cylinder head overhaul, fuel pump overhaul, flywheel ring gear replacement and gearbox bearing renewal. We offer a 24 hour call out service during the summer months when she is cruising throughout the Mediterranean.
