What marine electrical services cover
Marine electrical services cover the repair, installation and maintenance of a vessel’s electrical systems: the wiring and cabling, the switchboards and power distribution, the generators and motors, and the lighting, electronics and control systems that run from them.
Anchor Marine Engineering carries out this work for commercial and private vessels at Al Jadaf Dry Dock, Dubai, or on board across the UAE, as part of our ship repair and maintenance service. AME has worked from Al Jadaf since 1995.
Because the same workshop rewinds marine motors and generators and builds marine control panels in-house, an electrical fault that leads back to a motor, a generator or a panel can be handled by one team.
Our marine electricians carry out marine electrical repair and installation across the ship electrical system: wiring and cabling, switchboards, shore power, lighting, alarms, monitoring and automation, at Al Jadaf in Dubai or on board across the UAE.

Electrical systems
Ship electrical systems we work on
From the cable runs to the control panels. Whatever the fault or the upgrade, these are the systems our marine electrical team covers.
- 01
Ship wiring & rewiring
Electrical wiring, rewiring and new cable runs on board.
- 02
Switchboards
Main and emergency switchboards and distribution boards, repaired and tested.
- 03
Generators & alternators
Marine generators overhauled, with stators and rotors rewound in-house.
- 04
Electric motors
Propulsion, bow thruster, deck crane and winch motors rewound to marine class standards.
- 05
Control panels
Marine control panels for AC systems and engines, built in-house.
- 06
Lighting
Deck lighting, LED lighting and lighting circuits on board.
- 07
Alarm, monitoring & automation
Alarm, monitoring and automation systems on board.
- 08
HV, LV & shore power
High-voltage and low-voltage power systems, distribution circuits and shore power connections.
Switchboard repairs
Main and emergency switchboard repairs
The switchboards distribute power from the generators to every system on board, so a fault there affects the whole vessel. We repair main and emergency switchboards and distribution boards, on board or at Al Jadaf Dry Dock. New switchboards and control panels are built in our workshop: see marine switchboards & control panels.
- Main switchboards
- Emergency switchboards
- Distribution boards
- Fault finding
- Component replacement
- Insulation resistance testing
Power on board
Generation, distribution and shore supply
Every system on a vessel depends on its power supply. We work on both sides of it.
Generation
Generators and alternators
Marine generators overhauled on the mechanical and electrical side, in the workshop or on board.
- Stator & rotor inspection and rewinding
- Control panel & AVR diagnostics
- Insulation resistance & winding testing
- Load testing & recalibration
Distribution & supply
Switchboards, distribution and shore power
The equipment that carries power around the vessel and brings it on board from shore.
- Main & emergency switchboards
- Distribution boards & power circuits
- Shore power connections
- HV & LV systems
From our workshop
Motors, generators and panels done in-house
When an electrical fault leads back to a motor, a generator or a panel, the repair does not leave our hands. The rewinding and panel shops at Al Jadaf work alongside the marine electrical team.
- Propulsion & thruster motor rewinding
- Deck crane & winch motors
- Generator stator & rotor rewinding
- Dynamic balancing of rotors
- Marine control panels for AC & engines
- Temperature control panels for marine HVAC
How we work
How marine electrical work is carried out
The usual steps for an electrical repair or installation on a vessel.
- 01
Inspect & fault-find
The system is checked on board or at the dry dock to find the cause.
- 02
Scope & quote
What needs repairing, rewiring or replacing, with a quote.
- 03
Repair or install
Wiring, switchboard, lighting and system work carried out on board.
- 04
Workshop work
Motors and generators rewound, panels built, in our Al Jadaf workshop.
- 05
Test
Insulation resistance checks and functional testing of the system.
- 06
Return to service
The system is handed back working.
Project experience
Marine electrical work for Ocean 6
For Ocean 6 we carried out the electrical cabling, manufactured, supplied and installed the control panel for the AC system and engines, and carried out generator erection and testing, as part of a wider marine systems package.
