In Zamakona Yards in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, we are conducting together with the group Nicol & Andrew an “in situ” machining of the crankshaft of a main engine Bergen. Specifically we are machining the four supports of the crankshaft (main journals) 1mm undersize.
The group Nicol & Andrew is the pioneer of this technology that requires craftsmanship with practice and experience. Zamakona Yards, as an authorized service, is the only one capable of performing it in the Canary Islands and around the world, only a few companies are enabled to do so.

With the desire to improve the training of our employees and therefore the service we provide to our customers, Nicol & Andrew moved to the Canary Islands to train our staff.
Originally founded in 1952, Nicol & Andrew was the first company of its kind to carry out in-situ machining and repairs on marine propulsion units such as diesel engines. The in-situ marine repairs allows a very rapid response and total dedication to getting the equipment back in running order in the minimum possible time.
For ten days a training has been conducted in our facilities enabling us to grind and polish crankpin in situ without dismantling and removing the engine crankshaft.
This saves time and cost and can repair 90% of damaged cranks. Currently our equipment allows for crankpin machining between 170-325 mm in diameter and 140-400 mm wide materials although for other measures, Nicol & Andrew would supply the necessary material.
