Ship repair and maintenance that keeps vessels working
Anchor Marine Engineering repairs and maintains commercial and private vessels from its base at Al Jadaf Dry Dock, Dubai. The work covers mechanical, engine, electrical and structural repairs, carried out at the dry dock or on-site at your location.
Because the same team also rewinds marine motors, builds control panels and machines components, one contractor can cover the engine, the pumps, the electrics and the steelwork on a single job.
As a ship repair company in Dubai, we provide ship repair services and ship maintenance across the UAE: marine vessel repair from the engine room to the hull, scheduled maintenance programs between dockings, and marine repair work on board when the vessel cannot come to us. For owners comparing ship repair companies in Dubai, the difference is one team for the mechanical, electrical and steel work.

Marine heating elements
Heating elements for fuel oil systems, HFO tanks and calorifiers, manufactured in Dubai.
Retrofits & new equipment
Retrofits and new equipment installation
Putting new equipment into a vessel is fabrication, piping and electrical work, the trades we already run in-house. We install ballast water treatment systems from start to finish and take on other retrofit and equipment installation work on board.
- Ballast water treatment systems
- New fuel, lube oil, firewater & bilge piping
- Control panels built & installed
- Electrical cabling for new equipment
- Generator erection & testing
- Seatings, supports & steelwork
Project experience
Marine systems work: Ocean 6
For Ocean 6 we installed a sea water cooling and chilled water system, accommodation pipelines, insulation and ducting, electrical cabling, a control panel for the AC system and engines, ventilation, and generator erection and testing.
