All Questions
Answers, straight from our surveyors
We are a DG Shipping (Directorate General of Shipping, Govt. of India) approved service provider and radio surveyor, and an IRS (Indian Register of Shipping) approved service provider, working to the standards of leading IACS classification societies. Certificate copies are shared with clients on request.
All Gujarat ports and anchorages: Jamnagar, Sikka, Vadinar, Bedi, Okha, Kandla (Deendayal), Mundra, Alang, Pipavav, Bhavnagar and Hazira, plus mobilisation to Mumbai, JNPT and other Indian ports, and international attendance on request.
Within 24 hours at most Gujarat ports, and often same-day at Jamnagar, Sikka and Vadinar. For urgent breakdowns we provide immediate free remote diagnostics by phone or video while the attendance is being arranged.
Inspection and performance testing of the vessel's GMDSS installation: MF/HF and VHF DSC radios, Inmarsat/satellite terminals, EPIRB, SART, NAVTEX, two-way VHF radios, reserve power sources and antenna systems, with a survey report accepted by class and flag.
Yes. EPIRB annual testing is performed in accordance with IMO MSC.1/Circ.1039 (shore-based maintenance) covering beacon body and HRU inspection, battery validity, 406 MHz self-test and transmission checks, GPS encoding and beacon ID verification, with certification issued on completion.
Compass swinging determines the residual deviation of the magnetic compass on all headings and produces a new deviation card. It is required after dry dock, structural modification, prolonged lay-up, when deviations exceed acceptable limits, after a compass is repaired or relocated, and generally at intervals acceptable to the flag administration.
Tokyo Keiki (including TG-8000), Sperry Marine (including Navigat X MK ii), Anschütz, Yokogawa and other common makes, from liquid replenishment and gyrosphere overhaul to component-level PCB repair and heading calibration.
Yes, this is a speciality. Through our Bhavnagar branch near the Alang ship recycling yard we source tested, working navcom units for discontinued models, bench-test them, and supply with warranty options. This often saves owners the cost of a forced full retrofit.
Ultrasonic thickness measurement (UTM), ultrasonic flaw detection, weld inspection and defect evaluation, magnetic particle testing (MPT), dye penetrant testing (DPT), visual inspection and radiographic testing, for hull, machinery, piping and offshore structures.
Yes. We inspect and service lifeboats, life rafts, life jackets, immersion suits and MOB equipment, plus fire extinguishers (inspection, refilling, hydrostatic testing), fixed suppression systems, detection & alarm systems, SCBA sets and fire pumps, with certification for class and flag.
We bundle the surveys and servicing your vessel needs each year, radio survey, compass, LSA/FFA, calibration, NDT, into a single annual contract with planned attendances, priority breakdown response and one consolidated invoice. It reduces cost and removes scheduling headaches.
