Vessel sustainment

We deliver proven performance, next generation innovation and mission-critical reliability.

We know maximising the operational availability and capability of each vessel is critical for operators across the globe, which is why our sustainment teams are a part of our customers journey from the beginning. 

From design phase to launch, our teams work closely with customers to understand each ship, and fleet requirements, so that we can deliver effective support throughout the life of a vessel. Our capability management services take into account vessel usage requirements and can include guarantees to ensure operational targets are met.

Vessel maintenance

Through our global network of shipbuilding and support facilities we deliver comprehensive sustainment services that maximise the ongoing availability and capability of our customers’ commercial and defence vessels.

From routine servicing and preventative maintenance through to complex system overhauls, our maintenance solutions cover the full lifecycle of a vessel. We integrate original design knowledge with operational insights to ensure every intervention is cost-effective and aligned with customer requirements.

Keeping the world moving

Our rapid response support teams, with access to specialised OEM expertise, and dedicated supply chain channels ensure downtime is minimised and vessel readiness is maintained. Whether supporting a single vessel or managing a fleet, we provide scheduled maintenance programs that can be tailored for individual fleet requirements and proactive asset management.

Ship refit & repairs

With shipyards and service centres across the globe, as well as being able to support at a customer’s facility, our teams ensure every refit or repair is executed safely and to the highest industry standards. 

By integrating technical expertise with global resources, we deliver reliable solutions that enhance vessel performance, extend operational life and sustain readiness for commercial and defence operators.

Warranty

Designed to give our customers complete confidence in the quality and reliability of their vessels and onboard systems, we provide comprehensive warranty services that are backed by our global teams and authorised service partners, ensuring timely assistance wherever they may be located.

The full warranty lifecycle is managed by our teams who prioritise clear communication, rapid response times and transparent processes whilst working closely with OEMs, classification societies and our internal engineering groups to ensure all rectification works are completed to the highest standards, and in accordance with contractual and regulatory requirements.
