SHAFT ALIGNMENT SUPERVISION

Shaft alignment is critically important during the construction. Yet, it is an area that receives the least attention, sometimes becoming perennial and costly problem. Proper alignment is necessary for the efficient operation of the ship’s propulsion and transmission system for minimizing wear and tear and failure of the propellers and transmission system, adversely affecting the earning capacity of the ship. Here are the key areas:

  • Propeller blade damage
  • Vibrations and Noise
  • Bearing and Seal Damage 
  • Gearbox Chattering and Damage to Gears
  • Propeller Shaft Fatigue
  • Efficient Energy Transfer
  • Minimization of Mechanical Stresses
  • Long-Term Cost Savings 

RETROFIT CONSULTANCY

NIMRANA will be happy to collaborate with ship owners, OEMs, shipyards and EPC contractors for all types of retrofit conversion projects from concept development to implementation.

  • Energy transition conversions (LNG, methanol, ammonia and hydrogen), which require major infrastructure changes, finding optimal solution for fuel tanks, 3D scanning, FGSS pipe routing, preparation of drawings and preliminary approvals.
  •  Other retrofitting projects including installation of CCS, scrubbers and BMS systems case studies.

DRY-DOCKING AND REPAIR PROJECTS

We assist ship-owners and managers as independent consultants for planning dry-docking and repair projects, ensuring specifications are drawn out as accurately as possible, ensure all jobs are carried out timely, safely, properly and economically without blowing the budget as often happens.  

MAJOR CONVERSIONS

Major conversions, INCLUDING:

  • LNGCs to FSRUs, VLCCs to FSUs.
  • Dry-docking management.
  • New machinery design and installation.

FUTURE SHIP DESIGNS

NIMRANA can assist the shipbuilders and owners during concept development and FEED of new ship designs, such as LNG bunker vessels etc suitable for future fuels, such as the one LNG bunker vessel shown on the right. Additionally, we can help the owners during construction of these vessels in any shipyard around the world.

INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTS

NIMRANA can help and assist large investors in developing most modern and large shipyards iseally suited to the specific areas for future long-term investment in ship and offshore platforms construction.
