Case studies from the dock and the hardstand
Real jobs written up in full, what we found, what we did and what it took. Including superyacht repairs carried out dockside and on the hardstand at Gold Coast City Marina.
Telescopic Tender Crane Overhaul & Dyneema Renewal, Motor Yacht
A telescopic tender-garage crane came out of service with a worn dyneema lifting line and stripped mounting threads. Working at the berth with a purpose-built lifting setup, no shipyard crane, we removed the crane, extracted the internal extension arm, renewed the line, repaired the threads and load-tested with a water bag before signing off a full tender lift.
Stabiliser & Bow Thruster Overhaul, Motor Yacht Hardstand Refit
A snapped swim platform strut brought us aboard in the water; the haul-out that followed became a full overhaul of both stabiliser fin shafts, the bow thruster gearbox and the platform lifting gear. Sleeve bearings, seals and spacer plates renewed with custom tooling, saltwater-contaminated thruster rebuilt, redesigned billet clevis arms fitted, all signed off underway on sea trial.
Main Engine Exhaust Overhaul & Valve Renewal, RINA-Classed Motor Yacht
Both main engine exhaust systems on a RINA-classed motor yacht were stripped to the hull flanges during an extended hardstand refit: DN350 and DN400 butterfly valves renewed with European-sourced units carrying EN 10204-3.1 material certificates, high-temperature graphite gaskets and stud bolts custom made, a burn-through catch on the starboard expansion joint, and the rebuilt systems pressure tested in line with class requirements.
Trusted by vessel owners across Australia
MSA were responsive and professional in their installation of a holding tank in our 35 foot yacht. It took 7 working days from my first enquiry to job completion, which is impressive. The use of a WhatsApp group to communicate was highly effective in getting clarity, decision making and updates. Francisco was considerate to have onboard and went out of his way to be helpful in getting the job done. I would recommend MSA.Read more on Google, review by Mike
