IHI turbochargers
Overhaul, repair and spare parts for the IHI RH and RU series — very common on marine auxiliary engines, with more than 700 references catalogued.
The auxiliary engine specialist
IHI units are everywhere on auxiliary engines — generators, pumps and smaller propulsion sets, including many Yanmar installations. They rarely stop a vessel by themselves, but a fouled or worn IHI derates the auxiliary that keeps the ship alive in port, so they turn up in our workshops constantly.

Frequently asked questions
How fast can an auxiliary engine be back in service?
It depends on the route chosen. A cartridge exchange puts the engine back within the port call; a full overhaul of the removed unit then happens without time pressure. Tell us the model and the deadline and we will say honestly which of the two fits.
Are auxiliary engine turbochargers worth overhauling?
Almost always, yes: the auxiliary engine is what keeps the vessel or the plant alive when the main engine is down, and its turbocharger is the cheapest component to maintain and the most expensive to lose. Where it does not pay off, we say so.
