Port-Based Ship Repair Support in Vietnam

When a vessel calls a Vietnamese port, repair time is usually limited. Delays may affect cargo operation, charter schedule, class status, terminal clearance or next voyage commitment. Port-based ship repair requires fast local coordination, practical technical judgement and clear communication between the vessel, owner, agent, port, class and contractors.

SVC Marine assists owners and managers by acting as a local coordination point for repair attendance, technical service, inspection, spare parts, documentation and progress reporting.

Our port-based support can be arranged for:

  • Emergency repair during port stay
  • Onboard repair at berth or anchorage
  • Class item rectification
  • PSC deficiency follow-up
  • Main engine and auxiliary engine trouble
  • Pipe, valve, pump and machinery repair
  • Steel repair and minor fabrication
  • Electrical, automation and alarm troubleshooting
  • LSA, FFE and radio service coordination
  • Marine spare parts sourcing and delivery
  • Technical superintendent attendance
