Operating in remote parts of the world where docking facilities are limited, many of today’s large yachts face unique challenges when seeking a viable solution for propeller damage. If the yacht is equipped with oil lubricated stern bearings, removing the propeller underwater is not an option; if the yacht is chartered, traveling to a suitable dry dock may result in canceled bookings and lost revenue. Often the most efficient solution is to send Certified Propeller technicians to wherever the vessel is located.

SSA’s custom equipment, light enough travel even on small aircraft as excess baggage with the technicians, allows SSA technicians to meet a yacht almost anywhere in the world with all the necessary tools for comprehensive propeller repairs. 

Recognizing that reputation is everything in the yachting industry, hull cleaning, underwater inspections and surveys as well as other underwater interventions can be performed confidentially in accordance with even the most stringent owners requirements.
