Periodical check-ups and 24-hour monitoring via sensors for vessels which are berthed at the Marina

Ayia Napa Marina, one of the top, most carefully designed and organized marinas of the Eastern Mediterranean region, has developed a new service called “Vessel Check”. This new service offers vessel owners a thorough solution for constant control and updates on the condition of their vessels. Berthed vessels are under continuous monitoring through this innovative service, ensuring they are always seaworthy and ready to use, without fuss or any last-minute “surprises” before departure.

This preventive periodical service is offered to vessels which are berthed at the Marina. The proper function of a vessel’s electronic and mechanical parts is achieved through periodical check-ups and 24-hour monitoring via sensors. Check-ups are also granted to all the vital parts of a vessel, from its engine room to its electrical/electronic systems. This unique service can be provided in two ways:

1. Periodical physical check-ups on the vessel’s condition by members of the Marina’s boatyard team.
2. 24-hour monitoring via sensors which are installed on the inside of the vessel and transmit information to the Marina’s control center in case of any malfunction.

Another aspect of the “Vessel Check” service that is worth mentioning is the fact that it is offered at a premium price, with a 40% discount on its starting price. This launch pricing works as a way for vessel owners to get to know and familiarize themselves with the service’s significant benefits for vessels berthed at the Marina.

In addition to “Vessel Check”, Ayia Napa Marina offers a full spectrum of holistic services for vessels which include:

• Hauling & Launching: Ayia Napa Marina features the largest travel hoist crane available in Cyprus and the Eastern Mediterranean, which can lift vessels that are up to 36 meters in length and up to 150 tons.
• Maintenance Docking: General inspection and maintenance service which includes repair or change of worn parts, pressure power wash, paintwork, motor maintenance, etc.
• Pressure Power Wash: Using state-of-the-art equipment and techniques to thoroughly clean every surface of a vessel.
• Primer: Primer ensures a smoother, longer-lasting finish and provides an added layer of defense, safeguarding the vessel’s exterior from damage and deterioration.
• Antifouling: The application of a protective coating below the waterline is a vital method for maintaining a vessel’s appearance, performance, and structural integrity.
• Propeller Maintenance: Regular propeller maintenance prevents corrosion and damage issues to ensure a vessel’s optimal operation.
• Polishing: Polishing involves the creation of a smooth and shiny surface either by rubbing it manually or applying specialized chemical treatments.
• Stainless Steel or Wooden Surfaces Maintenance: By maintaining cleanliness, stainless steel and wooden surfaces can uphold their longevity and visual appeal.
• Freshwater Engine Flush: By running fresh water through the engine after each use, salt, debris, and contaminants are rinsed away, preventing corrosion.
• Replace or Clean Leather Upholsters
• Replace Zinc Anodes: A process that is essential for protecting a vessel from corrosion. Continuous protection is provided to the metallic components of the boat, extending their lifespan.
• Sand Blasting: Sandblasting is used to remove old paint and rust from a vessel’s hull.
• Osmosis Treatment: Osmosis treatment involves removing the underwater gelcoat and thoroughly drying the hull to address issues like osmotic blistering.
• Propspeed Application: Propspeed application involves applying a specialized coating to metal parts below the waterline, which increases boat speed and fuel efficiency.
• Gelcoat and Fiberglass Repairs and Refinishing: Gelcoat and fiberglass repairs and refinishing address common berthing issues such as scratches.
