Spare Parts and Equipment for Foreign Built Ships

Since 1974, SCARDANA has evolved to a primary North American sourcing and location service, for ships' spare parts and replacement equipment including main and generator engines. SCARDANA provides spare parts to tankers in the Alaska trade, to bulk carriers in U.S. Gulf, cruise ships in Florida and the Carribean, to Navy cargo ships in Norfolk, Great Lakes carriers on the St. Lawrence and anchor handling tugs on the Grand Banks. SCARDANA maintains continously updated databases, keeping track of sources and origin of discontinued engine and equipment models, manufacturers out of business, old brand names and other important information. SCARDANA provides reconditioning for major engine parts in key locations overseas and for some engine models, parts are available on exchange. Ship repair contracting is also offered worldwide. Replacement of generators, pumps, oil purifiers, compressors and other shipboard equipment, is a SCARDANA speciality. Many vital components can frequently be replaced with rebuilt equipment, for less than 1/2 the cost of new. New seawater pumps can often be supplied immediately from stock. For costly main engine parts, SCARDANA provides offers from a number of different sources. This service gives shipowners and managers the opportunity to select major parts according to several criteria, availability, location, price, class, etc. SCARDANA monitors the parts market constantly for quality aftermarket parts, for main engines, generator engines and the auxiliary equipment. There are many lines of excellent aftermarket parts available for ships' machinery, and there are others that should be avoided at all costs. SCARDANA makes the distinction, based on nearly three decades of experience.
