Boat & ship MRO (Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul) includes activities and services involved in the maintenance, repair, and overhaul of boats and ships. Boat & ship MRO includes regular inspections, cleaning, lubrication, and servicing of various components of boats and ships to ensure their proper functioning and performance. The growth of global maritime trade and the shipping industry drives the demand for boat & ship MRO services. As trade volumes increase, more vessels are needed to transport goods across the globe, subsequently increasing demand for maintenance and repair services to ensure the safety and operational efficiency of the vessels. Maintenance, repair, and overhaul activities associated with boat & ship MRO often require vessels to be taken out of service or undergo dry docking, resulting in downtime and operational disruption, thereby hampering the growth of the market. Growing demand for eco-friendly ships and shipping services and the increasing introduction of robots in ship maintenance and repairs are expected to expand the scope of boat & ship MRO services.

Services: Growing consumer preference for maintenance service due to its operational efficiency and reliability to boats and ships

Maintenance services focus on preserving the operational efficiency and reliability of boats and ships. Time-based maintenance (TBM) services are performed at predetermined intervals, regardless of the condition or performance of the vessel. Time-based maintenance (TBM) services include routine inspections, lubrication, and component replacements based on specified time frames. Failure-finding maintenance (FFM) involves conducting tests and reviews to detect and rectify potential failures or issues before they cause significant problems. Risk-based maintenance (RBM) activities are prioritized based on risk assessments, considering the criticality and consequences of possible failures. Condition-based maintenance (CBM) services are triggered based on the condition and performance of the vessel and monitored through various sensors, instruments, and data collection systems. Predictive maintenance services utilize advanced analytics and predictive modeling techniques to forecast equipment failures or performance degradation. Repair services address specific issues, damages, and failures in boats and ships. Mechanical and electrical repairs include repairing and replacing damaged or malfunctioning mechanical and electrical components, such as engines, propulsion systems, electrical systems, navigation systems, and communication equipment. Refit and modernization services involve upgrading and improving boats and ships to enhance their performance, efficiency, safety, and aesthetics. Boat & ship MRO providers offer training programs and techniques to upgrade the skills and knowledge of vessel crew members, maintenance technicians, and engineers. This includes training in safety procedures, equipment operation, maintenance best practices, and regulatory compliance.
