Routine maintenance is recommended annually with comprehensive inspections every 2-3 years depending on usage. High-use cargo vessels may require more frequent servicing.

A full overhaul includes disassembly, inspection of all components, replacement of worn parts, testing of mechanical and electrical systems, load testing, and certification for continued operation.

Can you service winches at sea?

Yes. We attend vessels at Australian ports for winch maintenance and repair. Minor work can often be completed during port stays.
