Generic faultfinding
The electrical systems in modern ships, are very complex and effective fault finding needs to be undertaken by a specialist marine electrical engineer. MEC offer a generic fault finding service that will quickly and accurately locate the fault and suggest the best way to rectify the problem. If possible, subject to the availability of parts and client approval, we will repair the fault immediately.

Electrical surveys
MEC can conduct on your behalf, comprehensive impartial electrical surveys on all aspects of electrical engineering on board ship. This might include, Classification Society CMS items, switchboard operations and inspections or insulation surveys. We can survey the general electrical state of a vessel or concentrate purely on an electrical safety report. We can also carry out surveys in view to alterations or additions to the existing installation.

Specification and drawing preparation
Ship owners can benefit from our service offering independently written, comprehensive specifications and drawings, whether for maintenance, dry-dockings, upgrades, refits, or new builds.

This allows you the owner to send your exact requirements to the contractor or shipyard, which in turn can respond with greater speed and accuracy in their estimates or quotes. The drawings will be produced in AutoCAD covering anything from one-line diagrams, schematics, equipment arrangements, listings, through to detailed manufacturing drawings.

 

Electrical equipment and systems commissioning
At this critical time in a project, MEC will work for you to ensure that all new and altered equipment and systems are properly commissioned and thoroughly tested, to all the relevant rules, regulations and requirements.

Material sourcing
If you are having difficulty locating replacement parts or equipment MEC can help. Using our database of contacts and suppliers nationally and internationally we can do the detective work for you; we can even offer obsolete circuit board repairs or replacements if required.

Owners representative
We can act on your behalf as the owners representative, freeing up your superintendent from the electrical part of a project, allowing them to concentrate on their own specialist areas.
MEC have the experience and qualifications necessary to supervise all the electrical work and arbitrate between various parties such as shipyard, contractors and manufacturers. To ensure that the requirements of you the owner, classification society, flag state, and HSE are met to consistently high standards.
 
 

Vessel riding electrician
Why wait until vessels are in dock? We can provide an experienced, qualified vessel riding marine electrician. They can carry out maintenance, repairs, faultfinding, and surveys, while your vessel is at sea.

Electrical Project management
We can successfully manage your projects from conception to completion.
Carrying out all of the relevant phases from initial surveys, liaising with owners, shipyards, contractors and manufacturers, through specification, drawing preparation, and overseeing the installations, and commissioning.

Electrical training
A large number of vessels no longer carry electrical officers, and rely on the senior marine engineers to carry out electrical faultfinding, repairs and minor installations. Many marine engineers admit that their electrical skills are lacking especially at faultfinding.

MEC can offer training either at sea or in shore-based classes, giving the engineers practical tips on electrical safety, classification society regulations and good electrical practices. We can also conduct training in faultfinding, and safe minor repair, alteration and installation procedures.
