Your Local Representative in China’s Ship Repair Yards

Lochain Marine helps international shipowners and ship managers select, negotiate, supervise, and close dry-docking and repair projects in China — with weekly on-site reporting and after-service follow-up.

Repairing a Vessel in China from Overseas Is Not Easy

Language barriers. Time zones. Unfamiliar yards. Unclear quotations. Variation orders. Lack of on-site follow-up. These can cost time, money, and trust.

Lochain Marine acts as your local eyes and ears in the yard — protecting your commercial and technical interests from inquiry to delivery.
