We handle main engine overhauling, pump and compressor repairs, electrical and automation faults and structural work at Karwar Port.

Underwater Repairs
Bulk carriers and general cargo vessels on west coast India and international passages through the Arabian Sea accumulate hull fouling that reduces speed and increases fuel costs on every subsequent voyage. Our certified diving team provides underwater hull cleaning Karwar at the Baithkol Cove berths and at the Karwar anchorage, without dry docking. Karwar's naturally sheltered bay, renowned as one of the best natural harbours on India's west coast, provides good conditions for underwater work during the active season. Full inspection reports with photographs are delivered on completion.

We provide PSC assistance Karwar Port from the pre-arrival stage, checking your vessel's deficiency records against Paris and Tokyo MOU databases before the pilot boards at Oyster Rocks. Our team identifies what requires attention and coordinates rectification before the PSCO inspection. For vessels on regular Karwar Port calls during the active season, we maintain compliance continuity across multiple visits to prevent deficiencies accumulating between dry dockings.

Service 04
Spares Clearing and Consolidation
Spare parts for vessels at Karwar Port typically arrive via Goa or Mangaluru airports, or by road through the NH-66 corridor. Without correct Indian customs documentation for duty exemption as ship stores, parts sit in customs-bonded storage after physical delivery and delay technical work at Baithkol. We manage the complete spares chain from import documentation and duty exemption filing through to consolidation and direct dockside delivery to the vessel at the Baithkol Cove quay or by launch at the Karwar anchorage during the active cargo season.
- Import customs clearance for Karnataka coast region
- Multi-origin spares consolidation
