GFM Technology Company Limited is a marine service supplier founded in 2012 with its head office and main workshop in Rizhao, on the Shandong coast. The company is ISO 9001 certified and operates a network of seven site offices and workshops covering Chinese ports and shipyards, with a published roster of more than 120 technicians who can typically attend a vessel within five hours of order confirmation. Recognitions from RINA, ABS, Bureau Veritas, CCS, IRClass, KR, Lloyd's Register and DNV support the team's class-driven scopes across merchant fleets.
Life-saving appliance work covers periodical LSA testing, lifeboat and rescue boat annual and five-year examinations, liferaft station co-ordination, davit and launching system inspections, release-hook overhauls and immersion-suit and lifejacket servicing. Fire-safety scopes include fire-fighting equipment periodical inspection, extinguisher recharging, hose and hydrant pressure testing, breathing-apparatus servicing covering EEBDs and SCBA sets, and maintenance of fixed CO2, foam and water-spray systems on engine-room and cargo-space installations.
On the bridge, GFM engineers perform GMDSS annual radio surveys, GMDSS equipment service and AIS annual inspections in line with SOLAS Chapter IV. Tightness and structural work includes ultrasonic hatch cover testing on bulk carriers, watertight integrity testing on weather closures, Ro-Ro door inspection on car carriers and Ro-Pax vessels, and pressure vessel inspection on air receivers, hydrophore tanks and similar items. Diver-supported scopes deliver in-water survey assignments for owners managing intermediate surveys. The company also handles stores and spares supply across Chinese ports, enabling operators to combine technical services with provisioning for a single port call. This breadth makes the firm a regular fixture in Rizhao, Qingdao and the wider Yellow Sea shipyard region.
