About Lochain Marine
From Marine Spare Parts and Underwater Drones to Trusted Ship Repair Supervision in China
Lochain Marine is the brand of Dalian Lochain Marine Tech Co Ltd, a Dalian-based company providing ship repair agency, dry-docking supervision, and owner’s representation for international shipowners and ship management companies in China. We are not a shipyard. We are not a classification society. We are an independent local partner working for the owner’s interest.
Our Story
Lochain Marine began with marine spare parts and underwater drone exports.
In the early stage, we supplied marine spare parts and underwater inspection drones to overseas shipowners, ship managers, and marine service companies. Through this business, we learned how owners think, how shipyards work, and how important clear communication, fast response, and reliable follow-up are in the marine industry.
At the same time, we built close working relationships with many shipyards and marine service providers across China. We also connected with a growing number of small and medium-sized shipowners and ship management companies overseas who needed a reliable local contact in China.
As our network grew, more owners began to ask us:
Can you help us find the right shipyard in China?
Can you attend the yard on our behalf?
Can you follow up on the repair progress?
Can you help us control cost and avoid misunderstandings?
Can you give us a clear weekly report?
That was how our ship repair supervision and owner’s representation service began.
What We Do Today
Today, Lochain Marine helps international shipowners and ship managers select, negotiate, supervise, and close dry-docking and repair projects in China.
Our core services include:
Ship repair agency and yard selection
Dry-docking supervision and on-site attendance
Owner’s representation in Chinese shipyards
Technical and commercial coordination
Weekly on-site progress reports
Variation order and cost control support
Completion, delivery, and after-service follow-up
We attend the yard, monitor the work, communicate with the shipyard, verify progress, record important issues, and keep the owner informed. Our goal is simple: make ship repair in China transparent, controllable, and easier for international owners.
Our Weekly On-Site Reporting Standard
Trust is built by consistency, not promises.
For every supervision project, we follow a standardized weekly reporting system. A typical weekly report includes:
Work completed vs. planned
Photos and videos from the yard
Outstanding items and potential risks
Variation orders and cost impact
Safety and quality observations
Next week’s work planOwner action points and decisions required
This reporting standard helps owners see what is happening on site, even if they are thousands of miles away.
Our After-Service Follow-Up
Our service does not stop when the vessel leaves the yard.
We continue to support owners after completion, including:
Repair documentation follow-up
Warranty issue tracking
Coordination with shipyards and suppliers
Future repair planning support
Spare parts and service coordination when required
This is how we have gradually won the trust of overseas shipowners and ship management companies, and the recognition and support of shipyards in China.
