AtZ adds stabiliser maintenance to its portfolio

The repair expert said it has recently supported stabiliser maintenance on board various ships within a large cruise line fleet and passenger ferries working in and around the British Isles.

Stabilisers are vital when it comes assuring the safety and comfort of passengers and crew and are an important contributor to effective use of other ship systems requiring the most stable platform in a variety of sea conditions.

Important maintenance

AtZ said that it is now offering customers a complete stabiliser overhaul to include main shaft seals, hydraulic seals, wear rings, pipes, gaskets, lubricants, oils, greases and filters.

Key interfacing components, which obviously differ ship by ship, will also be checked for wear, and if necessary, refurbished or replaced.

For customers looking to make the most of ever tightening docking schedules and budgets, the new stabiliser maintenance will mean that they can benefit from the full set of AtZ services which often use the same technical team reducing both time and cost incurred.

The company said that it works closely with customers to understand their particular requirements in order to structure a suitable service and repair package.
