Welding & Fabrication

Practical shipboard and port-side welding, steelwork and pipe fabrication support for planned and urgent repairs.

Overview

Practical attendance with traceable records

We coordinate suitable trades and technical attendance for defined welding and fabrication scopes on vessels and at port facilities. Work can include steel renewal, pipe replacement, supports, brackets and small fabricated components, with progress records and testing arranged to match the repair specification.

All work is subject to vessel and terminal approval, safe access, hot-work permits, gas-free requirements and applicable class or flag approval. Certified welders, approved procedures, material traceability and inspection are arranged where the scope requires them.

Frequently asked questions

Welding & Fabrication: practical questions

Can urgent shipboard repairs be arranged?

Subject to berth access, permits, material and trade availability, urgent attendance can be coordinated around the vessel schedule.

Can class-certified welding be provided?

Where required, suitably qualified welders, approved procedures and class or third-party inspection can be coordinated for the defined scope.

Is hot-work approval included?

The vessel and terminal retain control of permits. We coordinate the work only after required hot-work, gas-free and safety approvals are in place.
