Navitec’s industrial scope has expanded from extensive turning and milling work to welding, construction tasks, and custom projects, always in full compliance with the required procedures and high standards. We have built extensive experience in an environment where flexibility and quality are of utmost importance.
During the annual service, all components of the lifeboat and the launching device are thoroughly inspected and serviced. Special care is being exercised to the winch brakes and the release system. The first is dismantled for inspection, the latter’s function is tested.
The five-yearly service adds an in-depth survey and maintenance to the regular annual service. Release hooks and suspension brackets are dismantled for internal inspection and cleaning and upon completion, the entire installation (lifeboat and davit) is subjected to a load test.
The competitive edge of the Navitec partnership is that any defects found during the service, can often by rectified on the spot and this has major advantages. Servicing and repairs can be done during the same port call of the vessel and upon completion, a clean certificate can be issued.
Navitec operates a dedicated climate controlled GRP repair station. We tend to your small repairs but also larger hull and canopy damages can be fully restored to original condition.
All GRP repairs are performed under controlled atmospheric conditions with particular regard to temperature and humidity. Only high performance products are used to provide the best possible repair.
Being faced with lifeboats on a daily basis we can not only perform the GRP repairs. Whether it’s a problem with foam, leakage, steering gear, propulsion unit, window… You name it, we can fix it.
We are notably strong in maintaining and fixing all issues with both inboard and outboard motors of LSA vessels.
Navitec has a proven track record in repairing a variety of davits, winches and other associated equipment, but also extensive GRP repairs in our climate controlled workshop.
