General Services:
A worldwide network of service units and agencies has been built up to provide rapid response to the needs of the ship operator. The service provided is comprehensive - including straightening, cropping, welding, reshaping, polishing, overhaul, part replacement, inspection and non-destructive testing. As well as having a well equipped workshop to perform all propeller servicing, our uniquely trained and experienced Engineers and Technicians are able to carry out the work involved whether the ship is in dry-dock or afloat.
SMS specialise in the modification of existing propellers to alleviate engine overload and other propulsion problems. Cropping, reshaping edges and balancing to specifications created by Stone Marine Propulsion allow the vessel to continue trading virtually uninterrupted.

Shaft Bedding:
SMS regularly fit shafts and gauges as part of the propeller manufacturing process. In addition Technicians attend shipyards and dry docks to perform propeller to shaft bedding operations.
If required, SMS can supervise dockyard personnel carrying out this work and also liase with the Classification Society Surveyor.
Hydraulic Fitting:
It is absolutely vital that your propeller is fitted correctly to the shaft since loss of grip can be catastrophic. SMS can supervise shop testing and shipyard mounting to ensure that all the technical and Classification Society requirements are observed. |
