Engineering services include new installation, upgrade, and retrofit of vessel machinery and systems, analysis of failure and operating anomalies, development of purchasing and repair specifications, and resolution of regulatory issues.
Lightship specializes in providing engineering consultation and services in the analysis and implementation of complete preventive
and predictive maintenance systems, as well as spare parts inventory systems, specification preparation, contract administration,
and many other aspects of the engineering disciplines.
Lightship engineers can assist vessel owners and operators in preparing for overhaul periods by performing a pre-overhaul survey of
the vessel & operating personnel and/or upgrades that are necessary. Lightship engineers can turn these observations into
bid specifications.
Lightship engineers can then review this list with vessel owners and operators to select items for the overhaul.
Lightship can also develop specifications for bidding and performing these items. Finally, Lightship personnel can
assist the owner/operator in managing the overhaul period by providing planners and mechanical inspectors.
Even if your needs are not quite this extensive, we can assist you with line item specification preparation or
feasibility studies for machinery installations & overhauls. Call Lightship to assure that your next project
specification is accurate and complete.
