Mechanical engineering repair for marine propulsion and rotating equipment.

Laser shaft alignment, vibration analysis, troubleshooting, and shipyard machinery repair, based in Fort Lauderdale, serving vessels worldwide.

Marine machinery doesn’t fail in a clean, controlled environment. Load changes, corrosion, hull movement, and tight schedules all magnify small mechanical issues fast. When something feels off, vibration, heat, noise, leaks, wear, you need a team that can diagnose the root cause and get equipment back to reliable service without guesswork.

Advanced Mechanical Enterprises (AME) provides mechanical engineering repair for marine propulsion systems and rotating machinery, based in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, supporting Port Everglades, Port Miami, and worldwide operations.

Mechanical Engineering Repair for Marine Propulsion & Rotating Equipment

Propulsion and rotating equipment are complete systems. Misalignment can create bearing wear. Soft foot can look like imbalance. A coupling issue can show up as vibration in a gearbox. We approach repairs with an engineering lens, find the root cause, then fix it so it doesn’t come back.

Common equipment we support:

  • Main propulsion (engines, gearboxes, shafts, couplings, bearings, seals)
  • Generators and alternators
  • Pumps and compressors
  • Fans, blowers, and auxiliary rotating machinery

What you get:

  • Clear findings
  • Measured corrections based on alignment/vibration/inspection data
  • Recommendations that reduce repeat failures

Marine Vibration Analysis & Machinery Diagnostics

Vibration analysis is one of the fastest ways to pinpoint developing issues before they become downtime. We measure and interpret vibration under real operating conditions to identify fault patterns and confirm mechanical health after repairs.

Vibration analysis helps detect:

  • Shaft misalignment (angular/offset)
  • Imbalance (rotor/prop/drive components)
  • Bearing wear and lubrication issues
  • Gear mesh problems / gearbox damage
  • Looseness, resonance, or structural/foundation issues

Typical use cases:

  • Troubleshooting “new vibration” after maintenance
  • Verifying repair quality and return-to-service readiness
  • Condition monitoring for high-utilization vessels
  • Baseline data collection for predictive maintenance programs

Marine Shaft Alignment & Driveline Alignment Services

For optimal bearing life, long-lasting seals, and smooth operation, shaft alignment is a non-negotiable. Even small misalignment in a driveline can increase loads, accelerate wear, and push vibration into the hull structure.

Our alignment approach includes:

  • Hull deflection and foundation movement
  • Thermal growth and load changes
  • Machinery settling after installation/repair
  • Dockside vs. underway alignment considerations

Alignment services include:

  • Laser shaft alignment (driveline and rotating equipment)
  • Post-repair alignment verification
  • New install / commissioning support
  • Troubleshooting recurring wear, heat, or vibration

Shipyard Shaft Alignment and Precision Measurement Services

Shipyard work is where accuracy pays off or mistakes follow the vessel for years. We support shipyards and contractors with precision measurement and alignment that helps reduce rework and commissioning delays.

Shipyard support includes:

  • Propulsion driveline setup and alignment support
  • Machinery positioning and verification prior to final assembly
  • Measurement documentation for project teams and owners
  • Early detection of alignment-related risk before launch
