Ship Maintenance Services
PICMW’s marine division provides three maritime services: ship building / repair, ship design and ship management. The company is a founding member of the Shipyard Association of the Philippines (ShAP) and licensed by the Maritime Industry Authority (MARINA).
The company’s repair services include underwater machinery, steering and mooring equipment repairs, electrical works, as well as hull and deck re-plating. Vessel repairs can be classed according to ABS and Lloyd’s Register standards on the client’s request. All dry-docking and repair works are inspected and certified by the Philippine Coast Guard and MARINA.
PICMW introduced shipbuilding services in 1972 and has collaborated with Mitsui Ocean Development Company (MODEC) and Kanrei Shipyard to enhance its engineering skills in fabrication, mould-lofting and machinery installation.
In 1993, PICMW was a recipient of a training programme sponsored by the Development Bank of the Philippines (DBP) and Norwegian firm SHIPDECO, which subsequently introduced innovative systems to improve PICMW’s ship building and repair capabilities.
