SPYROPOULOS-TURBO operates as a dedicated technical service provider within the international maritime sector, specializing exclusively in the maintenance, repair, and supply of exhaust gas turbochargers. Rooted in the heart of the Greek shipping industry, the company’s history dates back to 1974 when it was originally established under the name TURBOSHIP by Antonios Spyropoulos, a Merchant Marine Chief Engineer with significant prior experience at major European turbocharger manufacturers. In 2004, the entity underwent a strategic reorganization and rebranding to its current designation, marking a transition to second-generation management under Konstantinos Spyropoulos while retaining its foundational engineering ethos.
Headquartered in Keratsini, Piraeus, the firm maintains a fully equipped industrial workshop designed to handle the rigorous demands of marine propulsion systems. This facility serves as a central hub for comprehensive turbocharger overhauling, where technicians execute complex procedures ranging from chemical cleaning and sandblasting to precise machining and grinding. A critical component of their technical operation is the use of advanced dynamic balancing machines, which ensure the stability and efficiency of high-speed rotors—a vital requirement for vessel safety and fuel economy. The workshop also possesses capabilities for specialized restoration techniques, including TIG welding, metal spraying, and chrome plating to recover worn components such as turbine blades and shafts.
Beyond its static facilities, SPYROPOULOS-TURBO functions as a mobile technical partner to ship operators and management companies. Understanding the time-sensitive nature of maritime logistics, the organization deploys "flying squads" of specialized engineers who travel globally to attend vessels in ports or at sea. These teams provide round-the-clock troubleshooting and on-site repairs, mitigating operational downtime for merchant fleets. The company supports these service activities with a robust inventory of spare parts, covering a wide array of turbocharger makes and models used in main and auxiliary engines. By combining decades of field experience with modern diagnostic and repair infrastructure, SPYROPOULOS-TURBO facilitates the continuous seaworthiness of vessels ranging from bulk carriers to tankers across the global trade network.
