ERIKS MarineTurning the tide

Shipbuilders &Shiprepairers AssociationTHE VOICE OF THE UK MARINE INDUSTRYSSA

Whether it’s key equipment failure, problems with cargo handling gear, temperature control and refrigeration equipment, charging or discharging machinery – when you need a situation resolved you need it resolved quickly. So you need a supplier you can rely on to supply the right parts, to the right place, at the right time.

That means you need a supplier with a complete understanding of the marine industry and the equipment it employs, of the demands of classification and legislation, and with the know-how and capability to repair or replace – and even upgrade – at sea, in port, or in dry dock, whether in an emergency or during a scheduled service.

ERIKS Marine has the products, the expertise, and the resources, to get your port back in operation, vessel back on hire, out of port or dry dock and back on schedule – quickly, efficiently, and cost-effectively.

Repair or replace?When a breakdown occurs, the temptation is to effect a repair immediately and get your vessel underway as soon as possible.

In fact, if your chosen engineering partner has repair expertise but no capability to supply a replacement, that will be the only option offered. Even though it could have a worse impact in terms of cost or scheduling further down the line.

ERIKS Marine, on the other hand, has the capability and resources to offer you – where practical – the option to repair or replace. So you can make your decision based on what’s best for your budget and your schedule. In addition, ERIKS’ extensive in-house engineering facilities give you better control over lead times – as well as quality – so that, if you opt for a temporary repair, a full repair can be more effectively scheduled to suit your requirements and availability of the replacement item.

More monitoring, less off-hire time Condition Based Monitoring (CBM) is another ERIKS service which can deliver extensive benefits for your budget, your schedule, and your off-hire time.

Our highly-trained, dedicated, CBM technicians – who have extensive marine experience – can carry out a range of monitoring services to help you establish a reliability-based maintenance strategy. As well as reducing the risk of catastrophic failures, extending equipment life and increasing productivity, CBM can even be used to extend the interval between inspections and on agreement with the relevant Classification Societies can sometimes help you with your SEEMP targets.

ERIKS CBM services comprise:

■ Vibration and oil analysis■ Thermographic surveys■ Dynamic on-site balancing■ Motor monitoring■ Laser alignment■ Filtration

When time isn’t on your side, we areOff-hire time. Late docking time. Delayed sailing time. When it feels as if time is against you, ERIKS Marine can help to turn the tide, with comprehensive component supply, extensive engineering resources, and technical expertise in repair and replacement – all supported by a global logistics infrastructure.

Accreditations, partnerships, locationsERIKS Marine:

■ SKF expert in the Marine Industry■ Are S.E.C. accredited marine engineers■ Work within International Association of

Classification Societies (IACS) guidelines■ Operate to SOLAS, IMO and MARPOL

standards and regulations where applicable

■ Can work in all major UK ports from our regional centres

■ Able to offer full services and support world-wide via our international operation

The in-house advantageUnlike many component suppliers, ERIKS Marine has extensive engineering facilities. This means ERIKS can be totally solution neutral: carrying out a repair rather than a replacement if this would be more cost-effective.

In addition, ERIKS’ marine engineering expertise opens up even more possibilities. For example, whilst recently dismantling an alternator in preparation for a rewind, ERIKS technicians realised they could upgrade the rewind to provide the same output in a smaller footprint, and were able to offer this option to the customer as a cost-saving alternative.

Suppliers lacking in-house engineering facilities can only offer replacement parts, not expertise and cost-saving solutions.
