We provide hull repair service in Istanbul. As Weser Maritim, our hull repair service focuses on restoring your vessel’s structural integrity. We provide rapid and efficient hull repair in Istanbul to keep your ship safe, seaworthy, and compliant with respected regulations.

Ship hull repair is one of the most critical components of vessel maintenance, directly affecting performance, fuel efficiency, and compliance with international regulations. Our skilled technicians use advanced techniques and quality materials to deliver reliable repairs in Istanbul.

Before repairs can commence, accurate damage detection is crucial. Hull inspection procedures rely on a combination of cutting-edge technologies and expert evaluations. The three most commonly employed methods are ultrasonic testing, dry dock surveys, and underwater inspections.

We use Ultrasonic Testing (UT) to detect the damage scope. This method uses high-frequency sound waves to detect defects beneath the surface. Its accuracy can reach up to 95% for detecting internal cracks or corrosion in steel plates. UT is especially useful in identifying areas weakened by prolonged exposure to seawater and salt corrosion, even before visible damage occurs.

Hull damage impacts a vessel’s hydrodynamic performance, significantly increasing drag. Studies show that ships with hull damage or roughness experience up to a 15% decrease in fuel efficiency. Additionally, damaged hulls pose a risk of non-compliance with IMO regulations, particularly the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS) and the Marine Pollution (MARPOL) convention, which require strict adherence to hull integrity standards.

At Weser Maritim, we provide Superstructure Repair Service in Istanbul. We have many years of experience in advanced superstructure repair. We specialize in fixing structural damage, fatigue cracks, corrosion, and wear caused by weather. Operating out of Istanbul’s premier shipyards, our skilled technicians utilize cutting-edge inspection techniques and repair methods, including precision welding for steel and aluminum, composite material applications, and advanced corrosion protection treatments.

Ship superstructures, made mostly of light materials like aluminum and steel, are vital for a ship’s efficiency and safety. Various forms of marine environment such as operational stress, and exposure to corrosive elements may damage a ship’s superstructure elements.

The superstructure, which includes components such as the deckhouse, bridges, and bulkheads above the main deck, faces continuous exposure to environmental stressors.

Weser Maritim provides cleaning services for cargo holds and tanks on ships. We operate in Istanbul, Türkiye, and the Turkish Straits (Bosphorus and Canakkale). Efficient cleaning of cargo holds and tanks is essential to ensure vessels are prepared for new cargoes.

International laws, port authorities, and charter agreements regulate hold cleaning on bulk carriers. MARPOL Annex V controls how cargo residues are disposed of, especially prohibiting harmful substances from being dumped at sea. On the other hand, Charter party agreements set specific cleaning standards, like requiring holds to be “grain clean” or “hospital clean” based on the next cargo.

The International Grain Code demands strict cleanliness for grain and food cargo. Finally, SOLAS ensures the ship’s structure and operations are safe, which includes keeping cargo holds clean and well-maintained.

The cleaning requirements for vessels vary depending on the type of cargo previously carried and the nature of the vessel’s next cargo. Weser Maritim’s team offers a range of cleaning methods to meet the diverse needs of bulk carriers, oil tankers, and chemical tankers in Istanbul.
