Official VETUS Service for marine engines in Barcelona

Diagnostics and maintenance
Identify the engine and symptom before the intervention
The same symptom can have different causes. Correct engine and installation identification helps prepare checks and parts with the right technical context.
- Starting, charging or fuel-supply problems.
- Overheating and cooling-system faults.
- Alarms, warnings or loss of performance.
- Leaks, smoke, vibration or unusual noise.
- Scheduled maintenance based on the model, hours and service history.
- Fuel, cooling, exhaust and charging checks when included in the scope.
- Technical assessment before a major repair or engine replacement.
Initial information helps prepare the job; the cause is confirmed through the required checks.
Engine and installation diagnostics
The review combines symptoms, alarms, service history and engine condition with the checks appropriate to the case.
Where relevant, related cooling, fuel, exhaust, starting, charging and control systems are also considered.
CATMAR workshop and onboard attendance
Some checks need to be made with the engine installed; other tasks require dismantling, workshop facilities or parts preparation.
CATMAR operates from Port Balís and Port Esportiu del Masnou and reviews work in Barcelona, the Maresme and other Catalan ports according to scope and planning.
