Ship Repair and Conversion

Since 1988, our core business is the arrangement of ship repairs and conversions in reputable Shipyards across the Globe. Throughout the years, we have established long-term relationships with Shipyards mainly in China and Turkey while we have performed a vast amount of repairs in Northern Europe, the Black Sea, the Adriatic Sea, the Mediterranean Sea, South America and West Africa as well as in the Far East.

Our job does not end at helping Ship Owners to choose the most suitable facilities for repairs, but we are committed in following all projects through, from the beginning till the end. Through our established offices in Shanghai, China and Tuzla, Turkey, we employ local engineers and personnel who actively assist superintendents throughout the duration of each project. We are ready and on call 24/7 to intervene and assist with anything that may come up before, during and after the repair period and have been doing this successfully for the past 3 decades, assisted of course by our close relations to all Shipyards key staff.

Surveys

Pre purchase surveys are an essential aspect of the purchase of ships and boats, particularly in the second hand market. Dovanko Marine Inc. can provide pre-purchase surveys of all vessels from small private boats to very large sea going ships including LPG Carriers, VLCC and Bulk Carriers, etc. Pre-purchase surveys performed by us, includes a full survey of all accessible areas of the subject ship and, very importantly, specific areas of known recurring problems on various ship types and designs.

By performing a pre-purchase survey of ships, the buyer can reduce the risks of unexpected additional repair costs, unexpected operational down time and damage to their reputation which can occur when a ship is unexpectedly removed from service – particularity following a high profile or publicised purchase.

We are in a position to assist with our qualified and competent team of Naval Architects/Marine Engineers, in any port of the World.
