Visual inspection will allow you to detect anomalies or wear and tear before they become serious problems.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cleaning<\/strong>The sea is a place full of salt and organisms that can adhere to mechanical parts. Regular cleaning prevents corrosion and ensures that everything runs smoothly.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Lubrication<\/strong>Like our joints, the moving parts of a vessel need to be well lubricated. This reduces friction and prolongs the service life of the components.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Replacement of Worn Parts<\/strong>Some parts have a certain service life.
