Drydocks World Elevates Propeller Repair Services with Enhanced Capabilities

Drydocks World today announced a series of significant enhancements to its Propeller Repair Services' operational capabilities, solidifying its position as the one-stop solution for comprehensive propeller repair needs, catering to all sizes and types with unparalleled efficiency and precision.

The facility is uniquely equipped to handle in-situ repairs for minor damages directly on the vessel without removing the propeller and more extensive repairs within its workshop, which includes a dedicated area and pit for propeller work.
