Scheduled Maintenance Visits
Routine service at defined running hours: fluids and filters, valve clearances, cooling checks, sampling and a written record of readings.
Features
- Planned against the engine's hour counter and the vessel's own schedule, so the visit does not cost trading days unnecessarily.
- Fluids, filters, impellers, anodes and belts are brought to the vessel as a kit so nothing waits on a delivery.
- Readings are recorded each visit, which is what makes a slow deterioration visible before it becomes a failure.
- Oil and coolant samples are taken at each visit and reported against hours.
- The visit ends with the next due hours and any items to watch, written down rather than mentioned in passing.
