Professional Centrifugal & Screw Pump Overhaul & Mechanical Seal Replacement in Mombasa
Efficient fluid circulation is critical for the safe operation of a ship's main propulsion cooling systems, ballast management, cargo stripping, and heavy fuel oil transfer. When centrifugal cooling water pumps lose suction pressure, screw pumps suffer internal rotor binding, or mechanical face seals rupture and cause severe oil and water leakage during a port call at the Port of Mombasa, specialized technical intervention is required immediately. Since 2011, Mombasa Ship Services has coordinated expert centrifugal and screw pump overhaul and mechanical seal replacement solutions for international commercial shipping fleets.
We link shipowners and chief engineers with certified marine mechanical engineers in Kenya experienced with heavy-duty pump architectures across major manufacturers (such as Allweiler, KSB, Grundfos, Hamworthy, and Desmi). Whether executing emergency field overhauls or managing complete workshop reconditioning, our 24/7 technical coordination network ensures precise mechanical restoration.
Comprehensive Pump Maintenance & Overhaul Scope
Engine room pumps operate under continuous thermal and hydrodynamic stress, requiring rigorous mechanical care. Our specialized service scope covers:
Centrifugal Pump Dismantling & Impeller Balancing: Stripping multistage and single-stage centrifugal pumps, inspecting impellers for cavitation pitting, and dynamic balancing to eliminate vibration.
Wear Ring & Casing Clearance Restoration: Machining and replacing worn casing wear rings and shaft sleeves to restore internal hydraulic efficiency and design discharge pressure.
Screw & Gear Pump Rotor Overhauls: Servicing positive displacement twin-screw fuel oil and lubricating oil pumps, checking tight internal timing gear clearances, and replacing worn driving spindles.
Mechanical Face Seal Replacements: Extracting failed carbon/ceramic mechanical seals, lapping mating faces, and installing correct spring-loaded seal assemblies to guarantee zero leakage.
Shaft Alignment & Bearing Renewals: Checking drive shaft runout tolerances, replacing deep-groove ball or roller bearings, and laser-aligning pump-motor coupling assemblies.

Class-Ready Compliance Documentation: Detailed clearance logs, balancing certificates, and English service reports are supplied immediately for your machinery history files.
Service Implementation Workflow
Step 1: Defect Reporting: Report pump vibration, low discharge pressure, or mechanical seal leakage to our 24/7 technical operations desk.
Step 2: Onboard Inspection & Extraction: Certified mechanical engineers board the vessel to inspect pump performance, isolate valves, and safely remove internal rotating assemblies.
Step 3: Workshop Overhaul & Recommissioning: Components are reconditioned or replaced, pumps are reassembled, aligned, tested under operational load, and verified before sailing.
