Ship Repairing

Afloat and drydock repairs — hull, structural, mechanical and electrical — executed by class-approved marine engineers.

Overview

Professional Ship Repairing Services

Bangladesh Marine Service Private Limited delivers professional afloat and dry-dock ship repair services to shipowners, operators, managers and charterers calling at Chittagong, Mongla and Payra Ports. With decades of hands-on experience and a large in-house team of marine engineers, welders, fitters, electricians and hydraulic specialists, we execute every repair project with class-standard quality and disciplined schedule control.

We understand that every hour off-hire directly affects a vessel's earning capacity. Our repair teams work around the clock — including nights, weekends and public holidays — to complete essential jobs during commercial port stay so that owners can avoid expensive foreign shipyard visits and prolonged out-of-service periods.

Class-Approved Workmanship

Every project is led by a resident superintendent who coordinates hull, mechanical, electrical, piping and paint scopes under one accountable command. Our engineers are trained to IACS class standards and work with Bureau Veritas, DNV, Lloyd's Register, ABS, NKK, KR, IRS and other classification societies to keep vessels within class and statutory compliance.

Steel Work & Structural Repairs

We handle steel renewal in hull, tanks, bulkheads, decks and cargo holds with certified welders qualified to AWS, ASME and class WPS. Our team performs cropping and insertion, full-plate renewal, structural reinforcement, doubler plates, hatch coaming repair and gusset fabrication with in-process NDT.

Mechanical & Piping Repair

From main engine top overhauls to auxiliary engine, purifier, pump, compressor and cooler overhauls, our engine-room team executes every scope to maker's manual. Piping work covers ballast, bilge, cargo, fuel oil, hydraulic and steam systems with fabrication, replacement, alignment and pressure testing.

Electrical & Automation

Our marine electricians handle alternator and motor rewinding, main switchboard refurbishment, cable renewal, insulation resistance testing and automation troubleshooting — plus complete lighting, navigation and communication system repairs.

Hull Cleaning, Blasting & Painting

Full range of surface preparation and coating services — high-pressure water wash, mechanical descaling, grit blasting and airless-spray application of primer, intermediate and antifouling coatings to major paint manufacturers' specifications (Jotun, International, Hempel, Chugoku).

Emergency Repair Response

Break-downs and voyage repairs are attended within hours of nomination. Our teams mobilise with mobile welding sets, hydraulic tools, portable machine shop, spare parts and consumables so that unplanned repairs can start immediately upon berthing or at outer anchorage.
