Marine electrical & electronic engineering

Keeping every system onboard live.

From new-build private yachts running the latest technology to thirty-year-old oil & gas support vessels working the North Sea every day — R&D maintain, repair and upgrade the electrical systems that keep ships operational.

Who we are

ETO experience,
brought to your vessel

R&D Electro Technical help maintain and upgrade all types of ships of varying ages. We keep our staff trained in the latest marine technologies, whilst being mindful of the old and proven systems we find along the way.

Our background is as Electro-Technical Officers on large vessels. That means many years working hands-on with electrical and electronic marine equipment from manufacturers all over the world — and the practical habit of sourcing spares or replacement parts quickly to keep your vessel operational rather than waiting alongside.

What we support

Generation to
consumer

We follow the ship's single-line diagram: from the generators and power management, through the main switchboard and sub-stations, out to the heavy consumers and the sensitive subsystems that depend on clean, reliable power.

Anything else

Any system onboard

If it has a cable attached, we will support it. We strive to support any electrical system onboard — old or new, from any manufacturer.

Fault-finding
Spares sourcing
Planned maintenance

Need parts? We source spares and replacement equipment quickly from suppliers worldwide, so a fault doesn't turn into a cancelled charter or a vessel off hire.

Who we work for

New build to
thirty years old

The equipment changes with the vessel's age; the standard of work does not. We are as comfortable commissioning a brand-new AVIT network as we are tracing a 1990s alarm loop.
