Drydocks World has announced a series of significant enhancements to the operational capabilities of its Propeller Repair Services division in Dubai, which is equipped to handle both in-situ repairs for minor damages directly on the vessel without removing the propeller and more extensive repairs within its workshop, which includes a dedicated area and pit for propeller work.
The provision of nickel aluminium bronze alloys for the fabrication of missing parts and a comprehensive range of repair techniques, such as laser pitch checking and blade profiling, are part of the yard’s expanded capabilities.
The company has also increased its team of qualified and skilled professionals to tackle a broad spectrum of propeller repair requirements.
Capt. Rado Antolovic, PhD, CEO of Drydocks World, said: “Our improved propeller repair services highlight our dedication to maritime excellence and leadership, with a focus on innovation ensuring unparalleled efficiency and quality. Our unique in-house ability to provide immediate solutions for unforeseen propeller issues sets us apart, earning the trust of shipowners who value our swift and thorough responses to their repair needs.”
Over the past two years, Drydocks World has successfully repaired over 20 fixed pitch propellers and 50 CPP blades, contributing significantly to the yard’s overall revenues.
In addition to the focus on propeller repair capabilities, Drydocks World has unveiled a new cryogenic pipe shop, a gasket manufacturing facility, and new CNC plate cutting capabilities.
The new cryogenic pipe shop is intended to support the growing needs of the oil, gas and renewable energy sectors in particular, and is equipped with advanced welding and fabrication tools. The new CNC plate-cutting facility is equipped with machines for enhanced plasma cutting, bevelling and oxyfuel cutting, and auto sensors and an inkjet printer for plate marking. The gasket manufacturing facility, which also features fully automated CNC technology, is designed to streamline gasket production and produce a wide range of gasket types.
Capt. Antolovic added: “Our new facilities underscore our commitment to excellence and innovation, offering clients unmatched services that redefine industry standards through our investment in technology and talent.”
