Restore structural integrity and extend vessel lifespan with Carat Maritime’s class-approved hull and steel renewal services—delivered by certified marine steelwork experts.
The hull is the primary barrier between a vessel and the harsh marine environment. Over time, it becomes susceptible to corrosion, pitting, deformation, and mechanical damage due to continuous contact with seawater, cargo handling, and operations. Carat Maritime offers professional hull and steel renewal services to restore structural integrity, comply with class rules, and ensure the long-term safety and operability of your ship.
Our services are carried out by experienced steelworkers and marine welders, certified under IACS class societies. We undertake renewal of hull plates, stiffeners, frames, tank top structures, bulkheads, decks, hatches, and ladders. From minor steel repairs to major structural renewals, we ensure full compliance with approved plans, material traceability, and welding quality standards.
- Steel plate cutting, fitting, and renewal - Hull inserts and shell plating repairs - Ballast and fuel tank structural replacement - Cargo hold steelwork and stiffener installation - Ultrasonic thickness measurement (UTM) and gauging - Class-approved welding with NDT testing - Preparation of renewal sketches and class documentation - 3D scanning and templating for complex geometry replacements
We perform steel renewal projects during drydock periods or alongside port stays. Carat Maritime works closely with classification societies such as ABS, BV, DNV, and LR to manage approval and inspection stages. Our team prepares all necessary documentation and supports interim and final surveys to ensure class compliance.
In addition to standard repairs, we also offer modification works—such as hatch cover upgrades, structural reinforcements, and hull fairing to improve hydrodynamics. All services are executed with a strong focus on safety, fire protection, and hot work protocols.
With Carat Maritime’s hull and steel renewal service, shipowners secure structural resilience, improved vessel value, and uninterrupted operations. Our steelwork teams bring the precision, planning, and class coordination needed for smooth project execution.
