How our marine gearbox repair process works

Every marine gearbox overhaul at our Sharjah facility follows four stages.

01
Step

Diagnostics and Vibration Assessment

Before recommending any repair, our engineers run on-board diagnostics. Vibration analysis, oil sample testing, thermal checks. This identifies the root cause of gearbox noise, vibration, performance loss. Tells us whether the unit needs a partial service or a full overhaul. Vibration analysis ties directly into our Polyflex partnership for engine mounting, coupling assessments.
02
Step

Removal and Stripdown

The gearbox is removed, transported to our workshop, stripped down completely. Every component is measured against OEM tolerances. Gear teeth, bearings, seals, clutch packs. Anything outside spec gets flagged for reconditioning, replacement.
03
Step

Rebuild and Assembly

Replacement parts come directly from MAN, FPT Industrial. The gearbox goes back together to factory specifications. New bearings, seals, gaskets, clutch packs where required. Torque values, gear backlash, bearing clearances are recorded at every stage.
04
Step

Reinstallation, Alignment and Sea Trials

The rebuilt gearbox is reinstalled with precision alignment to the engine, propeller shaft. Laser alignment tools verify coupling accuracy. Dock trials, sea trials confirm smooth operation across the full RPM range before final sign-off.

FAQ's of our Marine Engine Repair & Overhaul in UAE

What causes marine gearbox failure?

The most common causes include poor alignment between the engine and gearbox, contaminated or degraded gearbox oil, worn bearings, damaged gear teeth and clutch plate wear. Vibration from engine mounting issues can also accelerate gearbox deterioration, which is why we recommend coupling vibration analysis with any gearbox inspection.

A standard gearbox overhaul typically takes 2-3 weeks depending on the unit size, parts availability and extent of wear. Emergency repairs are prioritised with faster turnaround.

Yes. Our field service team regularly carries out gearbox diagnostics and on-site transmission repairs at Jebel Ali Port, Port Rashid and other Dubai anchorages.

Yes. Our initial diagnostics include on-board vibration analysis, oil sample testing and thermal imaging. In many cases, this identifies whether the issue is gearbox-related or caused by alignment, mounting or coupling faults, avoiding unnecessary strip-down.

Yes. As authorised OEM partners for MAN and FPT Industrial, we supply genuine marine gearbox components including bearings, seals, clutch packs and gear assemblies across the UAE.
