The crankshaft is one of the most critical components of any engine, enduring the highest levels of mechanical stress during operation. As such, replacing a damaged crankshaft is a highly complex and delicate procedure that can significantly impact vessel schedules, particularly when it involves the main propulsion engine.
At YAF Engineering, we carry out numerous crankshaft renewal projects each year, supporting both marine and land-based power generation applications — whether during port stays or en voyage operations. Crankshaft renewal has been a key part of our diesel engine services since our founding, and our technical teams possess extensive expertise across every stage of the process, including preparation, inspection, overhauling, assembly, alignment, re-chocking, and post-repair engine testing.
Thanks to our deep experience and our ability to maintain a strategic inventory of crankshafts, YAF Engineering offers comprehensive support throughout the entire renewal process:
Understanding that minimizing downtime is crucial for vessel and plant owners, we ensure fast response times, precise project management, and reliable technical execution. Whether you require a major crankshaft for a main propulsion engine or a smaller unit for an auxiliary generator, YAF Engineering delivers customized and efficient solutions tailored to your operational needs.
