FAQs

How often should marine diesel engines be serviced?

Routine maintenance intervals typically range from 250 to 2000 operating hours depending on engine type and service conditions. We recommend quarterly inspections and annual overhauls for most vessel types.

What is normal crankpin wear?

Crankpin wear varies by engine type and operating hours. Typically, wear of 1-2mm over 5 years is normal; wear exceeding OEM specifications requires professional polishing or replacement.

Yes. We provide rapid response at major Australian ports including Sydney, Newcastle, Melbourne, Brisbane, Fremantle and others.
