Swiftships offers a comprehensive range of reliable, fast, and cost-effective maintenance packages, including planned or predictive, preventative, corrective, and continuous maintenance. Our expertise encompasses all aspects, from the ship’s exterior upgrades to the most complex machinery and electrical (HME), electronics, communication and navigation (COM/NAV), weapons systems, and other systems for overhauls, servicing, upgrades, and repairs. All works are conducted by our experienced MRO teams in the most time-efficient manner to eliminate the risks of future failures.
During any planned maintenance, Swiftships assures to bring back the ship in the same working order as it was initially designed. We maintain all parts and systems of the ship to optimize performance and implement solutions to prevent major repairs in the future. We utilize our advanced technology and custom software to plan, manage, execute, and record maintenance works. Our Planned Maintenance System (PMS) schedule development is in accordance with the industry’s best practices, where tracking PMS accomplishment and lessons learned are major components to the following types of maintenance:
- Time Based Maintenance (TBM)
- Failure Finding Maintenance (FFM)
- Risk-Based Maintenance (RBM)
- Condition Based Maintenance (CBM)
- Predictive Maintenance (PDM)
In case of non-planned repair work required, Swiftships utilizes a Corrective Maintenance methodology. We thoroughly conduct testing of all equipment and mission systems and document the results. We provide optimal repair solutions.
Repair
Swiftships expertise, skill set, and facilities allow us to undertake the most complex and emergent repairs, including the repair or replacement of critical systems, machinery, heating and cooling systems, electrical, mechanical, and weapon systems for military and commercial vessels. We understand the importance of minimizing vessels’ downtime, and as such, we have developed procedures and methodologies to expedite repair works and address all issues, restoring the vessel’s original mission capabilities, safety, and reliability.
Our designated teams immediately identify the cause of failure, organize the necessary resources, prepare plans of action, and repair the malfunction. Program managers will coordinate with the customer and the logistics team to provide potential shipyard assets needed to complete the repair and the issuance and/or ordering of parts needed for the repair. The PM will provide the customer with a schedule and periodic reports on the repair actions until all repairs are completed. All emergent repairs will be followed by comprehensive trials performed by our quality assurance teams to ensure that the affected systems are operating within the designated parameters.
Swiftships technical teams will be responsible for identifying, planning, scheduling, managing, and documenting the various repair work actions in accordance with the applicable system and subsystem procedures provided by OEMs.
