What happens at the five- and ten-year overhauls?
The five-year overhaul involves a comprehensive disassembly and inspection to assess the condition of your Kawasaki® tunnel, azimuth thrusters and more. We also carry out a thorough cleaning process, we assess the condition of parts and carry out preventative replacements.
A more extensive overhaul is required every ten years or after 40,000 hours of operation. This includes bearing, liners if they can’t be machined anymore.
