REFITS

Whether a vessel was originally built by Abeking & Rasmussen or any other shipyard, we ego beyond value preservation and increase performance, expand its functions and raise it to a new level. Together, we unlock the full potential of a vessel and transform it into something truly unique and extraordinary. Major conversions are our daily business.

MAINTENANCE

There is no such thing as ‘routine work’ for us. Every maintenance and repair job is carried out with tireless dedication and attention to detail. Our objective is not just to maintain the status quo, but to achieve lasting improvements and increase the value of every vessel assigned to us.

SPARE PARTS & DOCUMENTATION

Having the right spare part at the right time and place is essential for ensuring the seamless operation and longevity of a vessel. At Abeking & Rasmussen, we maintain an extensive inventory of spare parts and provide precise documentation for operation, maintenance and repair activities.

WE LOOK BELOW THE SURFACE

 

The wide-reaching skills of our creative, progressive shipyard enable us to constantly build on our solid reputation by offering new solutions in the yachting world, as well as in the construction of navy vessels and conventional ships. This could explain why Abeking & Rasmussen has been the market leader and pioneer in SWATH construction for such a long time. The refit department exploits these skills fully to provide high-quality performance in the shipbuilding field. This transfer of knowledge is your guarantee of outstanding refit service quality from A&R.

Navy vessels, specially commissioned ships and large yachts come in all shapes and sizes, and all have their own specific features. And in this field, any kind of physical, technical, or functional defect is one defect too many. This is why we carry out the different tasks on your boat with the utmost care and attention. Our servicing, maintenance, repairs, and refitting services will optimise your enjoyment and give you peace of mind on board. At the end of the day, outstanding boats deserve an outstanding level of maintenance service.
