ISM has active affiliations with all Turkish new building and repair yards and can arrange all types of repair at very competitive cost.

Turkey is now widely recognised for combining efficiency and economy in this sector, particularly for major steel work renewals. It has become the best all round repair option in Europe and the Mediterranean. A willingness to contract penalties for delay, extremely competitive pricing, an abundance of skilled labour, fair weather and its geographical advantages for onward fixing, all contribute to its appeal to owners. Most Turkish yards are well equipped and allow owners the use of outside contract labour to reduce costs. All the classification societies have branch offices on hand and every major engine and machinery manufacturer is locally represented.

ISM frequently undertakes the co-ordination and overall responsibility for overhauls, surveys and major repairs on behalf of its principals.
