From recurring breakdowns to reliable vessels
The machinery usually exists already. The work is making it dependable: honest inspections, documented overhauls, spares that arrive, and crews that know their systems.
Documented systems work, not guesswork.
Yaks Marine focuses on the ordinary friction that keeps vessels off-hire: recurring faults, undocumented repairs, slow spares, drydock surprises and crews left without handover notes.

WORKING PRINCIPLE
Start with one real inspection. Fix what matters. Then decide what should be overhauled, replaced, monitored — or honestly left in service.
Unplanned downtime eats revenue
A vessel off-hire is a vessel losing money. Recurring faults get patched, not solved — until the same failure returns mid-charter.
Every job ships with paperwork: condition report, overhaul scope and estimate, component-level photos, post-service performance certificate and sea-trial report.
