FAQs


What engines does Goltens service?
Goltens services and repairs most makes and models of large bore 4-stroke and 2-stroke diesel, dual fuel, and gas engines.  As a leading global independent provider and the clear alternative to the OEM, our scope covers the full lifecycle, from routine overhauls to restoration after major casualties, and extends beyond the engine itself to the turbochargers, fuel equipment, governors, alarms, automation, and controls around it. Expert field teams mobilize from operations in 15 countries, backed by on-site repair and maintenance crews worldwide.

What's involved in restoring an engine after a major failure?
Restoration after a large engine casualty means diagnosing the root cause, planning the rebuild, sourcing components, and executing the repair which often includes crankshaft, bearing, liner, and structural work to bring the engine back to service. Few companies in the world, if any, can diagnose, plan, and execute a restoration of this scale entirely with their own resources, which is a defining Goltens capability. That self-sufficiency, spanning in-place machining, crankshaft replacements, and component reconditioning, is what lets Goltens turn a condemned engine around quickly.

Can Goltens handle emergency crankshaft replacement on merchant vessels and powerplants?
Yes, when a crankshaft is condemned and cannot be salvaged in place, Goltens’ teams execute crankshaft replacements swiftly and safely, and recovering from this type of casualty is routine work for the company. On offshore supply vessels, merchant ships, powerplants and other assets, Goltens has completed exactly these replacements under substantial time pressure. Where the shaft can instead be saved, in-place crankshaft machining is often the faster, lower-cost route.

Does Goltens service governors, automation, and engine controls?
Yes, in various locations globally, Goltens maintains service and distribution facilities for Woodward governors and Heinzmann / Regulateurs Europa controls, with technicians experienced on diesel, dual fuel, and gas engine installations. Its workshops also repair and overhaul a broad range of automation and control systems, with calibration performed to OEM standards.

How do I get a repair quote or maintenance consultation from Goltens?
The fastest route is placing a call or email to the relevant station available on our contacts pages or submitting a service request, which reaches the right regional Goltens expert.  Enquiries are typically answered within 12 hours, and field teams can be quickly mobilized worldwide.

You can review comparable work in the engine services case studies.
