Laser Alignment and Machining
We employ specialised laser alignment and scanning equipment to precisely identify and address alignment issues, especially those associated with engines and shafts. Our team of highly trained technicians possesses the expertise to efficiently operate the equipment and can be rapidly deployed worldwide to ensure a swift response, anytime and anywhere.
Why laser alignment?
Ships often encounter vibration problems when they are in operation, particularly under power. These issues are often attributed to misalignment. Through the use of specialised laser equipment, we can precisely pinpoint these issues and conduct alignment services.
Equipment alignment can be completed in just a few hours, safeguarding bearings, seals, shafts, couplings, and ensuring a longer lifespan.
Routine Laser Alignment Check-Up
At times, misalignment can go unnoticed, silently imposing stress on your equipment, leading to excessive wear and untimely breakdowns. Regular check-ups can mitigate operating costs and prevent significant problems that might result in unexpected downtime.
One-Stop Service:
We provide one-stop services covering every aspect of the alignment process. This includes precise measurement and reporting, detailed plans for corrective actions, and the execution of the necessary tasks. With the right expertise and tools, we ensure a seamless and efficient alignment service tailored to your needs.

In-Place Machining
Our workshop is equipped with cutting-edge machinery capable of handling a wide range of general machining needs. From honing and grinding to lathe machining, line boring, milling, and drilling, we cover it all to meet your specific requirements.
Backing up our advanced equipment is a team of highly skilled in-place machining technicians who can be rapidly deployed anywhere in the world. Their expertise ensures efficient and precise machining solutions to minimize downtime and keep your operations running smoothly.
Crankshaft Machining and Journal Repair
We operate using specially designed crankshaft machining tooling for in-place reconditioning eliminating the need for a full engine dismantling.
Our skilled technicians are experts in repairing damaged crankshafts, which includes precision grinding and machining of crankshafts. We also excel in addressing issues with bent and twisted crankshafts, providing in-situ solutions that save time and resources. Additionally, we offer our expertise in the application of in-situ crankshaft annealing processes. This specialised technique effectively removes hardness from crankshafts, salvaging components that would otherwise be condemned.
Line Boring Services
Our line boring services are powered by specially designed tools and laser alignment equipment, enabling us to execute precise work on diesel engines of all ranges and sizes. Our in-house workshops are fully equipped to handle a wide spectrum of repairs associated with line boring.
From machining caps to more extensive requirements like machining bedplates and blocks, we have the capabilities to ensure your engine components are in optimal condition. At Marine Dieselcare Engineering, we prioritise precision and efficiency in every line boring project, delivering top-notch results for your marine engines.
