Condition and pre-purchase surveys, owner representation through refit, and hands-on engineering of the systems that actually move. We are not tied to a shipyard, a manufacturer or an automation platform.
Passerelles, shell doors, tender garages, cranes, platforms and watertight doors. The systems that decide whether a refit finishes on time.
YKing Marine is not affiliated with a manufacturer, an automation platform or a shipyard. That independence is the product. It means a technical problem can be assessed on safety, reliability, maintainability and long-term value, rather than on who is paying for the repair.
Condition, damage and pre-purchase surveys, acceptance testing and detailed technical reporting, referenced to Flag State requirements, IMO and SOLAS.
Independent representation for owners and management companies through refits, repairs and major technical projects.
Engineering, troubleshooting and modernisation of automated and hydraulically operated equipment. Our specialist field.
Sourcing for obsolete and hard-to-find components, custom manufacture, PLC programming and coordinated repair through an international network.
Automated and hydraulically operated equipment is where most refit programmes lose time, and where fault-finding crosses three trades at once. It is the work we know best. Automatic sliding doors and their mechanical, pneumatic and electronic systems are a specialist field in their own right.
Projects supported worldwide, from a corporate base in Dubai and Florida.
And many more.
All inspections and technical assessments are carried out with reference to applicable Flag State requirements, international conventions and the rules of recognised Classification Societies.
