Controllable Pitch Propeller Blade Exchange - Emergency Ship Repair | Wärtsilä Underwater Services

Taking a vessel into a dry dock to perform critical repairs of a Controllable Pitch Propeller Blade (CPP Blade) or planned refurbishment costs time and money. With Wärtsilä Underwater Services, the Ship Repair and Maintenance work can be performed below the waterline by specialists.

Our specialist diver technicians perform maintenance work below the waterline during scheduled port calls. This reduces both maintenance costs and downtime while minimising the impact on your vessel’s operation. Wärtsilä Underwater Services cover the underwater repair, refurbishment and maintenance of vessel machinery and equipment as well as the propulsion system, seals and hull, based on a thorough underwater assessment by our specialist teams of certified experts.

▬ Innovative Underwater Solutions ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
Wärtsilä Underwater Services (formerly Trident) started its journey in September 1993 as an underwater service provider with a team of two divers, specialising in repairing, overhauling, and servicing seagoing vessels, marine installations, and rigs for the commercial, energy, and navy markets.

Since then, it has established a far-reaching partner network of factory-trained, industry-certified diver technicians operating on a global scale, as well as a number of offices across Europe.

That, combined with its industry-specific product training programmes and access to Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) products and solutions, position it to offer technical maritime support and solutions when customers need it most while guaranteeing a high standard of service and commercial diving equipment.

Its innovative approach, outside-the-box thinking, and ability to handle warranty claims have proven invaluable to customers, which is why Wärtsilä Underwater Services is considered the OEM’s underwater service provider of choice.

▬ Areas of Expertise ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
Our underwater maintenance and repair services are divided into the following areas of expertise.

Machinery and equipment
Propulsion
Shaft sealing systems
Shell plate repair
Ship husbandry
Oil and gas

▬ Ship husbandry ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

We’ve performed hundreds of seal repairs and overhauls on shafts with a diameter of up to 1100mm.

Its success is largely owing to our technical training, our experience in product design, and the emphasis we place on product testing, all of which have enabled us to deliver an exemplary service to the maritime industry, one which uses a widely recognized and accepted shaft seal overhaul method aligned with classification and manufacturer warranty standards.

In order to carry out the service safely and efficiently, we set up a lightweight, flexible, open habitat (FLEX-DAM) around the stern configuration, away from the natural elements and the dust generated in drydock. Its compact design is also more conducive to commercial air freight, allowing for swift mobilization in emergency situations.

Our underwater shaft seal repair services include:

lip-type seal bonding and spacer ring installation or removal;
wet repair and replacement of face-type seals (including Deep Sea Seals, Cedervall, Wӓrtsilӓ);
Controllable Pitch Propeller blade seal replacement;
tunnel or azimuthing thruster shaft and blade seal upgrades; and
stabiliser fin shaft seal and crux seal repairs.
