KET Marine International B.V.

Based in Spijkenisse, strategically located near the port of Rotterdam, KET Marine International B.V. operates as a dedicated technical specialist within the maritime separation market. Since its establishment in 1985, the company has carved out a specific niche, focusing almost exclusively on the maintenance and supply of industrial oil separators. Positioned within one of Europe’s busiest logistics hubs, the firm serves as a critical aftermarket partner for shipping companies worldwide, bridging the gap between original equipment manufacturing and the immediate operational needs of the merchant fleet. The company’s core identity revolves around ensuring the reliability of fuel and lubricating oil treatment systems. Recognizing that separators are vital for engine health, KET Marine provides a comprehensive alternative to standard supply chains for major European separator brands. Its operations are characterized by a massive inventory of replacement parts, ranging from gaskets and O-rings to complex electronic components and control units. However, the firm moves beyond simple distribution by maintaining an advanced technical workshop. Here, specialized engineers perform rigorous overhauls, including the precision re-balancing of separator bowls to factory specifications, ensuring they can operate safely at high rotational speeds. A defining element of KET Marine’s service model is its specialized "Separator Exchange Pool." This logistical solution addresses the urgent nature of maritime maintenance by offering shipowners the option to swap worn vital components—specifically separator bowls—for fully reconditioned and certified units. This approach significantly reduces vessel downtime and repair costs compared to purchasing new equipment or waiting for onboard repairs. The company’s logistical scope is global, coordinating the rapid dispatch of spares and service engineers to ports across continents. By integrating heavy technical expertise with agile logistics, KET Marine International B.V. plays a pivotal role in engine room maintenance, ensuring that vessels can effectively purify their fuel and lubricants to maintain propulsion efficiency and regulatory compliance.
