Modern marine and offshore industries are under constant pressure to improve operational uptime, reduce maintenance costs, and maintain safety in some of the harshest environments on earth. From deep-sea oil rigs to fishing trawlers and port authorities, hydraulic systems are the invisible force driving steering, lifting, propulsion, and deck operations. But what if you could see...
Why Diagnostics Matter in Cape Town Waters Cape Town’s bustling harbour, fishing fleets, offshore support vessels, and port operations all share one silent dependency: hydraulic systems. These hydraulic systems power steering, winches, cranes, anchoring, and stabilisation across marine and offshore environments. When something goes wrong — even a small anomaly — the effects are magnified by...
In offshore environments, where vessels and oil rigs operate hundreds of kilometres from shore, hydraulic reliability isn’t optional — it’s mission-critical. A single system failure can delay drilling, compromise cargo schedules, or even endanger lives. That’s why global marine hydraulic troubleshooting and diagnostics have become central to the smooth running of the world’s shipping and offshore...
Cape Town is one of the busiest maritime hubs in Africa, home to shipping traffic, offshore supply vessels, fishing fleets, and maritime authorities. In this demanding environment, hydraulic systems are the hidden force that powers steering, cranes, winches, propulsion, and safety equipment. When these systems fail, vessels face costly downtime, missed schedules, and even safety risks....
When it comes to diagnosing and repairing marine hydraulic systems, one thing is clear: the workshop can only take you so far. For many vessels, the real challenges begin at sea — under full operational load, with complex hydraulic systems working at capacity. This is where onboard sea trials become indispensable. At DMA Hydraulics & Pneumatics,...
