Riding crews

Global Boiler repair specialists onboard

At Global Boiler Services, our riding crews are ready to perform repairs and maintenance on boilers, economisers, IGG units, incinerators, and more—anywhere in the world. We mobilise highly skilled teams to ensure your equipment is repaired efficiently, to Class standards, and with minimal disruption to vessel operations. 

Skilled, certified, and globally available 

Our riding crews typically consist of experienced Danish and Polish boilermakers, led by a Danish chief boilermaker who acts as foreman. For larger projects, additional personnel, such as boilermakers and fitters from our Dubai or Singapore branches, can join the team to meet repair scope requirements.

  • Acts as the primary point of communication with the vessel’s crew, shipyard, and Class surveyor
