Tailshaft Repairs

At YAF Engineering, we provide expert repair and cladding services for tailshafts, addressing both operational wear and structural damage that can compromise vessel propulsion and alignment. Our workshop capabilities and certified quality systems allow us to deliver cost-effective, class-approved repairs with minimized downtime.

Typical issues tailshafts encounter include:

  • Corrosion and wear on shaft journals
  • Damaged chrome liners
  • Worn or broken stern-tube bushes
  • Excessive shaft bending
  • Propeller blade or hub damage

Our technical team applies advanced laser cladding techniques and precision machining, both at our heavy-duty machine shop and via in-situ portable equipment, enabling high-accuracy repairs without the need for full disassembly in many cases.

In addition to tailshafts, we also repair a variety of other shafts, including but not limited to:

  • Rudder stocks
  • Intermediate shafts
  • Alternator and generator shafts
  • Windlass and capstan shafts

YAF Engineering is an ABS-approved tailshaft repair facility, with official certification for cladding and machining of tailshafts in accordance with ABS Rules and approved standards.

Our Tuzla workshop has been audited and certified by ABS Quality Evaluations, Inc., confirming that our mechanical workshop meets the requirements for tailshaft cladding and related processes under ABS Reference T2192094.

By combining class-certified procedures with high-end workshop equipment and experienced personnel, we provide reliable, fast, and fully approved shaft repairs tailored to each client’s operational needs.
