Hull & Structure
Restoring strength, shape and finish.
Refit, Maintenance & After-Sales
Reimagine. Rebuild. Return to Sea.
From a single system upgrade to a full-vessel transformation, our engineers assess, rebuild, test and hand back your vessel ready for the sea.
Built to Last, Kept That Way
The People Who Build Vessels, Looking After Yours
A vessel's value is protected by how well it is looked after. IMPERIS brings together the engineers, craftspeople and workshops that build vessels and the teams that maintain them, so every refit, repair and service is done by people who understand the vessel down to its systems. Whether you need one system brought up to date or a complete second life for an older vessel, the work is planned, carried out, tested and documented under one roof.
01
Refit & Conversion
A Second Life, Engineered
Refit is a vessel's second life: new power, modern systems, a refreshed interior, a restored hull. We plan it as an engineering project, not a list of jobs, so every change is sequenced, specified and checked against the whole vessel.
Power & Propulsion
Modern power that is reliable and easier to maintain.
Systems & Electronics
Bringing onboard systems up to date.
How a Refit Works
Five Stages, One Clear Plan
Every refit follows the same path, from the first inspection to the day the vessel is handed back. You know what is being done, in what order, and how it will be proven before it leaves the yard.
01
Technical Assessment
Inspection of hull, systems and interior, and a clear understanding of the owner's goals and priorities.
02
Scope & Plan
Work scope, sequence, materials and timeline agreed before works begin.
03
Yard Works
Hull, power, systems and interior works carried out by the relevant in-house teams.
04
Testing & Sea Trials
Commissioning, pressure and leak tests, harbour and sea trials.
05
Handover & Documentation
Final inspection, delivery documents and follow-up support.
02
Maintenance & Service
Reliability, on Schedule
Regular care is the cheapest form of reliability. Our technicians look after engines, generators, mechanical, electrical and electronic systems, hull and GRP, and interiors, on a schedule that suits how you use your vessel.
Preventive & Scheduled
Planned checks and servicing to catch problems before they happen.
Corrective & Troubleshooting
Systematic fault-finding and repair when something goes wrong.
Seasonal & Inspection
Pre- and post-season preparation and technical inspection.

Testing & Sea Trials
Proven on the Quay. Proven at Sea.
A vessel isn't finished when the work stops. It's finished when it has been tested, on the quay and at sea, and the results are documented. Every stage below is carried out and recorded before the vessel is handed back.
01System commissioning
02Engine commissioning
03Electrical & generator testing

Before We Meet
Tell Us About Your Vessel
To prepare a useful assessment we'll ask for a few details. Having them ready means our engineers arrive with the right questions, and you get a clearer plan, sooner.
- Vessel type and length
- Year and builder
- Current location
- Scope of work you have in mind
- Preferred timing
