Based in the maritime hub of Limassol, Cyprus, Seatec Marine Services Ltd has operated as a technical service provider to the commercial shipping sector since 1988. The company focuses on maintaining the operational readiness of merchant vessels through a combination of mobile repair teams, underwater engineering, and spare parts logistics. Unlike static repair yards that typically require vessels to deviate from their schedules, the company specializes in deploying "riding squads"—teams of qualified mechanics and electricians who travel to ships worldwide to execute repairs during active voyages. This operational model allows ship owners and managers to address critical maintenance issues without incurring the high costs associated with off-hire time or unscheduled dry-docking.
The company’s core technical capabilities span both mechanical and electrical disciplines. Mechanical operations include comprehensive overhauls of main and auxiliary engines, crankshaft replacements, pump repairs, and turbocharger servicing. On the electrical side, the company undertakes complex tasks such as the rewinding of electric motors and generators, switchboard troubleshooting, and automation system repairs. A distinct area of expertise for the firm is the restoration of vessels affected by fire or water ingress, where specialized teams work to rehabilitate damaged cabling and electromechanical equipment to salvage operational capacity. Additionally, the company acts as an agent for specialized European electrical engineering firms, enhancing its capacity to handle sophisticated shipboard power systems.
Complementing its internal machinery services, Seatec Marine Services Ltd provides an extensive range of underwater solutions designed to maintain vessel performance. Diving teams perform hull cleaning and propeller polishing, procedures that are essential for improving hydrodynamic efficiency and reducing fuel consumption. The division also conducts underwater inspections using CCTV and non-destructive testing (NDT) techniques, enabling classification societies and owners to assess hull integrity while the vessel remains afloat. The company supports these service lines through a dedicated procurement operation, including a presence in Shanghai, which facilitates the sourcing and global distribution of marine spare parts. Through this integrated approach of repair, diving, and supply, the company serves as a multifaceted support partner, ensuring that vessels retain seaworthiness and operational efficiency across global trade routes.
