With today’s ultra-efficient marine engines, bunker quality is critical to efficient fuel consumption and minimizing engine wear and tear. We own and operate a fleet of bunker barges that enables us to supply quality fuels that are strictly complied with ISO 2010 standards on a timely manner. All vessels bunkering with us can be assured of the quality and quantity of bunker, as well as safe and efficient delivery. We supply Fuel Oil 180 CST, MGO and variety of lubricants to vessels alongside the berth or at the anchorage port.

We assist in mooring the vessel and berthing of the vessel at our berths and dry dock at competitive rates and provide provisional services of power and water, excellent security and full workshop facilities.

Our store is fully equipped with ship equipments, ship maintenance supplies and other provisional services like water food, crew change and vessel /tank cleaning at competitive rates. We can procure engine spares at the earliest if not locally available.

We have procured a license to operate an Export Processing Zone in our facility and we can render services relating to warehousing and storage for clients.

Most of the floating repairs are carried alongside our lay-by wharves, which are two in number on the eastern and western side of the dock. The yard offers a total of 340 meters repair and lay-by wharves. The piled jetties are capable of mooring vessels up to 200 meters L.O.A. with a maximum draft of 8 meters. All our mobile cranes can be used to lift items off the ships at both our jetties.

There are two slipways that are capable of slipping barges, lighters, small harbour craft, pontoons and fishing boats amongst others. The slipways are 20 meters in length and 6 meters in width and can accommodate vessels up to 120 tons. Tugs are available for towing lighter barges, pontoons, etc., and also for general duties such as transporting of ship stores. The main usage of the tugs is to facilitate dry- docking of the vessels up to 20,000 tons.

The company has successfully undertaken conversions of various types of vessels in and around East and Central Africa. All works are done according to “ASME” standards with no compromise on the quality. The company uses material that is approved, graded and certified by the “IACS” referred in “UR Z17.1.2” and authorized by the flag administration.

Besides marine work, the company also undertakes heavy and specialized non marine work for various internationally acclaimed companies and government organizations such as Cement factories, Petroleum Refinery, Electricity Companies, Railways, Oil Drilling companies, Airlines, Ports Authorities, Construction companies, Banks, Hotels and Hospitals among others. A recent project undertaken was the rather challenging fabrication of a Silo and Weigh Bin for a leading Cement Manufacturer. The total weight involved in the project was around 30 tons that was successfully fabricated, delivered and installed by AMGECO.

We have onsite a fully certified life raft service station manned by qualified personnel. Personnel are
sent to various agency headquarters for regular training to keep up with innovations and changes. The station carries a full range of replacement parts for life rafts and lifeboats with adequate expiry periods.

Specialised pyrotechnics rocket and illuminating flares, marine distress signals and rescue equipment such as inflatable boats, life rafts and lifejackets are also supplied.

Most of the floating repairs are carried alongside our berths, which are two in number on the east and west side of the dock. The yard offers 340 meters repair and lay-by wharves. The piled jetties are capable of mooring vessels up to 200 meters L.O.A. with a maximum draft of 8 meters. All our mobile cranes can be used to lift items off the ships at both our jetties. Our highly qualified and certified teams are available round the clock to be mobilized for any afloat repair job away from the yard. The mobile teams are fully equipped with all mobile equipment to carry out almost any repair above the water line on the exterior and almost all repair work on the inside of a vessel. Most of the works are carried out in the ports of Mombasa, Dar E Salaam and Zanzibar.

The department is capable of carrying out all marine works such as electrical work, steel and pipe work, engine repairs including turbines, machine repairs, cargo tank cleaning and demucking, anchor and cable repairs, servicing of electrical equipment, metal locking, metal spraying, painting using rollers and airless spray amongst others.
