The project involved a major overhaul of both main propulsion engines onboard Crest Argus 5, an Offshore Support Vessel operated by OFCO. The vessel was equipped with two NIIGATA 6MG-[L]-28-AHX main engines (800 RPM / 2220 kW), with the STBD engine at 9312 hours and the PORT engine at 9249 hours. Given the criticality of offshore operations, the engines required a comprehensive 24k major overhauling to ensure operational safety, reliability, and extended service life.

Summary About The Project

Neptunus undertook the end-to-end overhaul of both engines covering cylinder heads, liners, pistons, bearings, valve systems, injectors, fuel pumps, camshaft, governor, and associated assemblies. After meticulous reassembly and testing, both engines were restored to full operational readiness. The project was completed within the stipulated timeline, followed by successful no-load and sea trials, ensuring the vessel was fit for continued service.
