Marine deck equipment operates under some of the harshest conditions at sea. Continuous exposure to saltwater, heavy loads, vibration, and lack of periodic maintenance can cause severe corrosion, wear, and operational failure in critical systems. At ASF GEMİ MAKİNA, we recently completed the overhaul and restoration of heavily corroded deck machinery components that had reached a critical condition due to long-term exposure and operational fatigue.
Initial Condition Assessment
The equipment arrived at our workshop with:
- Severe rust and corrosion
- Damaged transmission components
- Worn shafts and bearings
- Mechanical seizure risks
- Surface degradation caused by marine atmosphere
As shown in the inspection stage, several components had almost completely lost their protective coating and operational reliability.
Repair & Overhaul Process
Our technical team carried out a full restoration procedure including:
Mechanical Disassembly
All components were carefully dismantled and inspected individually to identify hidden damage and wear points.
Cleaning & Surface Preparation
Corroded surfaces were mechanically cleaned and prepared for repair and coating applications.
Component Repair
- Shaft alignment corrections
- Bearing seat inspection
- Gear mechanism checks
- Fastener renewal
- Structural reinforcement where required
Protective Coating Application
After repair completion, industrial marine-grade protective coating was applied to improve corrosion resistance and extend service life.
Final Result
Following overhaul and repainting, the machinery was restored to operational condition with significantly improved structural integrity and protection against future marine corrosion.
The before-and-after transformation demonstrates the importance of proper maintenance and professional workshop intervention for marine deck equipment.
Why Proper Deck Machinery Maintenance Matters
Routine maintenance and timely overhaul help vessel operators:
- Prevent unexpected breakdowns
- Reduce downtime
- Improve onboard safety
- Extend equipment lifespan
- Lower long-term repair costs
