Specialized Naval Maintenance

Repair and maintenance of the machinery that keeps a vessel operating: propulsion engines, generator sets, electric motors, pumps and hydraulic systems.

The service

Tanzaca was founded in 1984 as a naval workshop, and the maintenance of ship machinery is still the core of Tanzaca Marine. From the start we have provided essential maintenance and restoration solutions for a wide range of vessels.

What we repair and maintain

  • Diesel propulsion engines and generator sets
  • Electric motors and generators
  • Centrifugal and reciprocating pumps
  • Hydraulic systems and actuators

Piping systems, metal repairs and conversions are a separate service, described on their own page.

Piping, metal repairs and conversions

Propulsion engines and generator sets

We repair and maintain diesel propulsion engines and the generator sets that supply a vessel's electrical power. Our project record includes the maintenance of main engines on tanker vessels.

Electric motors and generators

We repair and maintain the electric motors that drive a vessel's auxiliary machinery and the generators that produce its power.

Centrifugal and reciprocating pumps

We repair and maintain centrifugal and reciprocating pumps, the two families that move most of the fluids on board.

Good to know

Centrifugal pumps

An impeller transfers energy to the fluid. They move large volumes at moderate pressure, as in ballast, cooling water or firefighting services. Typical wear points: mechanical seals, bearings, impellers and wear rings.

Good to know

Reciprocating pumps

A piston or plunger displaces a fixed volume with each stroke. They deliver high pressure at lower flow and handle viscous fluids. Typical wear points: pistons, liners, valves and packing.

Hydraulic systems and actuators

We maintain hydraulic systems and the actuators they drive.

Boilers and condensers

Our experience also covers the maintenance of boilers on tanker vessels and of condensers in marine environments.
