Subsea (Offshore) & Onshore Engineering Excellence
AMS adopts an integrated approach to marine engineering. Our staff's depth of practical experience in naval architecture, hydraulics, pneumatics, and electrical systems allows us to take projects from initial diagnosis through to execution, monitoring, and final certification.
We design and fabricate specialized equipment to solve intricate aquatic and mechanical challenges, ensuring minimum downtime for your vessel and full compliance with class requirements.
Key Engineering Disciplines
Underwater (UW) Services
Certified diving teams equipped with hydraulic brush karts, CCTV inspection systems, and underwater welding gear.
Hull Cleaning & Propeller Polishing
Multi-brush hydraulic cleaning removing biofouling and barnacles, combined with micro-fine propeller polishing to Rupert scale 'A' to optimize vessel fuel efficiency.
Sea Chest & Intake Cleaning
Thorough clearing of marine growth from sea chest gratings, suction filters, and overboard discharges to maintain vital cooling water flow to main and auxiliary engines.
Bow Thruster Maintenance
Underwater inspection, entanglement clearing, seal monitoring, and mechanical maintenance of bow and stern thruster units.
Anode Replacement & UW Welding
Subsea replacement of sacrificial zinc and aluminum hull/rudder anodes, alongside Class-approved underwater wet welding of cracks and doubler plates.
Salvage & Towage Operations
Emergency salvage response, refloating of grounded vessels, towing support, and specialized wreck splitting & clearance across coastal and harbor waters.
CCTV In-Water Surveys (IWS)
Real-time high-definition CCTV video inspections with two-way diver audio for classification society extensions, damage assessments, and pre-sale audits.
Installation, Repairs & Maintenance
Our shore-based engineering workshops and mobile response technicians service critical marine machinery:
- Marine Cranes & Winches: Hydraulic ram rebuilding, wire rope replacement, load testing, and electrical controls.
- Cargo Pumps & Valves: Overhaul of centrifugal and screw cargo pumps, mechanical seals, and manifold valves.
- Controllable Pitch Propellers (CPP): Pitch control mechanism adjustment, hub maintenance, and seal renewal.
- Oily-Water Separators (OWS): 15-ppm bilge alarm calibration, filter refurbishment, and MARPOL compliance audits.
