TL;DR for this article

  • Marine engine overhauls work best when they follow your own procedures and Class rules.

  • Arc Ship supports main and auxiliary engine overhauls in Sri Lanka with local teams and partners.

What is included in marine engine overhaul services in Sri Lanka

Engine overhaul is more than opening and closing components. It is a structured job built around safety, cleanliness, measurements and documentation so Class and owners can trust the result.

Typical overhaul scope we support

  • Planned overhauls on main engines and auxiliary engines according to maker or owner instructions
  • Dismantling, inspection, measurement and recording of critical components
  • Workshop activities for machining or reconditioning where needed
  • Reassembly, setting, functional tests and basic performance checks

For a service overview, see the marine engine overhaul services Sri Lanka page .

Planning an engine overhaul during a Sri Lanka call

Every vessel has its own plan for engine overhauls. When Sri Lanka falls close to the due hours, owners often choose to complete the work there using local teams and workshops.

Key planning questions before you commit

Do you have enough time alongside or at anchorage for the agreed scope, are all critical spares and tools available, and is there any Class or maker attendance required at the same time.

Once this is clear, we prepare manning, tools and any workshop support so the team can focus on the job instead of waiting for missing parts or decisions.

Information we need to quote and plan the overhaul

A precise scope and good background information help us give you a realistic quotation and avoid last minute changes when the work has already started.

Information to include in your enquiry

  • Engine maker, model and running hours for the units in scope
  • Due items according to your planned maintenance system or maker instructions
  • List of spares already onboard and any you expect us to supply locally
  • Port, ETA, ETD and expected work window with access conditions

If you have recent attendance reports from marine engine specialists , sharing them helps align the overhaul work with earlier findings.

How Arc Ship coordinates overhaul, workshop and Class involvement

Engine overhauls often involve several parties. Our role in Sri Lanka is to keep the sequence practical and traceable for your technical and safety teams.

  • Align overhaul steps with your own checklists and documentation templates
  • Coordinate workshop work for components that need machining or reconditioning
  • Support Class or owner inspections related to the overhaul scope
  • Provide a clear summary of work done, measurements and recommendations
When diagnostics point to deeper work, combining a specialist visit and an overhaul in the same Sri Lanka call often saves one extra stop later.

To discuss an upcoming overhaul window, contact us via the Arc Ship Sri Lanka hub, email srilanka@arcship.ae, or WhatsApp +94 75 998 8994.
