Turbo Dynamics can at last unveil a lesser known side to its world-renowned and respected turbocharger business: marine turbocharging.

Having been bound by a confidentiality agreement, which has now been formally lifted, Turbo Dynamics (aka TD) is proud to announce that its many years of experience within the turbocharger field includes supplying turbos to the marine market.

Respected as one of the world’s leading combined turbocharger remanufacturer and hybrid turbocharger designers, TD boasts a wealth of experience in a variety of turbo markets; covering every sector that requires efficiency and reliability from its products. The company’s diverse and worldwide marine customer-base includes: powerboat racing teams, cross-channel ferry companies, pleasure cruisers, commercial boating companies and fishing vessels.

Remaining instrumental in turbocharger evolution, Turbo Dynamics supplies, services, remanufactures, upgrades and modifies original equipment turbochargers by the top turbocharger manufacturers: ABB, Napier, MTU, MAN B&W, Yanmar, KKK, Garrett, Holset, IHI and Mitsubishi.

The company’s aim is to exceed customer expectations through offering the highest quality service (TD is ISO 9001:2008 accredited) and utilising its extensive reconditioning/manufacturing facilities in order to meet all possible customer needs.

The machine shops include in-house manufactured jigs and fixtures, state-of-the-art dynamic balancing machines and full welding facilities. All of which are geared up to: repair, recondition and metal-spray shafts, work with all types of materials, provide standard maintenance, replace parts, service, re-engineer and resolve performance issues.

One of TD’s biggest assets and draws however, has to be its team of trained turbocharger engineers. Highly experienced in the marine turbocharging industry, they boast in-depth product knowledge and are able to ensure the customer is provided with a cost effective solution to their turbocharger problems. The engineers meet customer requirements for parts, overhaul and breakdown servicing, and are also able to manufacture bespoke components that are obsolete or otherwise irreplaceable.

As part of their cost-effective and time-saving work, the TD team offers a marine turbocharger breakdown service. - In the event of a breakdown, marine customers need immediate assistance; turbochargers are termed a ‘stressed’ product, which means that in this eventuality the first thing the owner wants is to get moving so the pressure is on. With a dedicated logistics department that strives to collect on the same day and deliver door-to-door (dependant on weight), TD has a speedy turnaround service to help rescue its customers when they’re faced with this tricky situation. The company’s tried and tested couriers with their competitive prices help to keep the total price affordable as well.

Another reason why Turbo Dynamics’ customer-base is so expansive is the company’s dedication to quality products and workmanship; with a philosophy of ‘Quality without Compromise’, TD’s test and inspection processes exceed the industry norm. Having held ISO certification for many years and recently upgraded to the latest ISO 9001:2008 standard, TD’s customers are assured that work is undertaken in the strictest confidence and with the professional service you would expect from such a reputable organisation. TD also offers a full 12-month warranty on all parts and services.

With so much to offer, it is clear why water-craft everywhere are afloat with confidence when a TD-warranted turbocharger is on board. For more information about Turbo Dynamics’ turbocharger services, visit turbodynamics.co.uk.
