Your Shipyard in Every Port: Platinum Marine Services
Platinum Marine Services operates as a mobile shipyard with permanent bases in Rotterdam and Tuzla, delivering afloat repair capability across North and West Europe and all major Turkish ports and Straits. With a permanent workforce of around 50 ex-shipyard professionals, Platinum handles everything from riding squad support and emergency interventions to specialist project work, without requiring vessels to deviate to a drydock. Resolute Maritime Services is the exclusive representative of Platinum in Greece.
What a Mobile Shipyard Delivers
The mobile shipyard model is designed around a straightforward operational requirement: vessels in active trading corridors need repair capability that comes to them, not the other way around.
Platinum deploys teams directly to vessels in port, at anchor or on voyage. Work is executed by permanent, largely ex-shipyard professionals, applying the same technical standards as a conventional yard within the constraints of the vessel's current location and schedule.
Geographic Coverage
From Rotterdam, Platinum provides coverage across the West and North Europe Continent, operating from Le Havre in France to Bremerhaven in Germany and across all major North Sea and English Channel ports.
From Tuzla, coverage extends to all major Turkish ports and both Turkish Straits, the Bosphorus and the Dardanelles. Greek-managed vessels transiting these straits or calling at Turkish ports regularly represent a significant portion of the demand for this service.
Service Scope
Platinum's repair scope covers the main technical disciplines required for afloat work:
- Main engine and DG overhauls, crankshaft replacement
- Fuel pumps, injectors and governor services
- Turbocharger overhauls, transmission and propulsion systems
- Electrical systems, automation and instrumentation
- Boilers, pumps and rotating machinery
- Deck machinery, cargo gear and hatch cover maintenance
- LSA and FFE servicing and certification
- Tank cleaning and environmental compliance work
- Underwater inspections and repairs, NDT surveys
Emergency and unplanned repair requirements are within scope alongside scheduled maintenance and riding squad assignments.
Riding Squads and Emergency Response
Platinum's permanent workforce is structured for rapid deployment. Riding squad assignments allow planned maintenance to be carried out during a vessel's trading passage, reducing time in port and avoiding unplanned deviations.
For emergency situations, Platinum's proximity to the vessel's operating region means a team can be mobilised and on board faster than routing to a drydock facility. This matters when operational continuity and schedule adherence are commercial priorities.
Why Resolute Represents Platinum
Resolute's principal relationships are built around one test: does this capability address an actual operational need for the Greek technical departments we work with?
For Greek-managed fleets, a significant proportion of tonnage trades through Turkish ports and Straits and across North and West European ports. Afloat repair access in these corridors, delivered by a professional team with shipyard-grade standards, directly supports those fleet scheduling requirements.
Platinum's operational track record and permanent staff depth make it a credible representation in both regions.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Where exactly does Platinum Marine Services operate?
Platinum operates from two permanent bases. Rotterdam covers West and North Europe from Le Havre, France, to Bremerhaven, Germany, and all major North Sea and English Channel ports. Tuzla covers all major Turkish ports and both Turkish Straits, the Bosphorus and the Dardanelles. Both corridors are among the highest-activity regions for Greek-managed tonnage.
What repair types are within scope for afloat work?
Platinum's scope covers main engine and generator overhauls, turbocharger and pump repairs, electrical and automation systems, deck machinery and hatch cover maintenance, LSA and FFE servicing, tank cleaning and underwater surveys and repairs. Both planned maintenance and emergency interventions are within scope. Riding squad assignments during active trading passages are a core part of the service model.
When is afloat repair preferable to drydocking?
Afloat repair is appropriate for work that does not require the vessel to be dry. It removes the deviation cost and delay associated with routing to a yard, and it allows maintenance to be executed during a trading voyage rather than as a separate port call. For emergency situations, an afloat team can be deployed to the vessel's current position faster than any drydock alternative.
