Dubai, UAE. 21 February 2025.
In the maritime industry abuzz with digitalization and smart technology, Avid Marine and IMarEST UAE Branch reminded attendees that keeping ship engines running still requires reliable hardware. Timely delivery of the correct engine spares – at the right price- is vital for ship maintenance and OPEX.
The event, celebrating Avid Marine’s 7th Anniversary, gathered ship managers and industry leaders to share insights and challenges regarding Main and Auxiliary engine spares. Discussions highlighted how Avid Marine’s comprehensive inventory and technical expertise address fleet operational needs.
Avid Marine: 7 Years of Delivering Value
4 Strategically Located UAE Warehouses stocked with M/E & A/E spares for global distribution.
Diverse Inventory: New, used, reconditioned assemblies and critical spares (cylinder heads, pistons, liners, crankshafts).
In-House Technical Expertise: Engine-specific components delivered competitively priced and reliably.
Why Ship Managers Trust Avid Marine
Prompt delivery and competitive pricing rarely sail together – Avid Marine makes it happen. Their extensive inventory ensures minimal downtime. By 2025, they aim to hold the region’s largest stock of 2-stroke engine parts from China and Korea.
A Lesson from Experience
Nikeel Idnani, IMarEST UAE Honorary Secretary, shared how his vessel faced a costly two-day off-hire downtime in Fremantle, waiting for an Emergency Fire pump part. Avid Marine’s swift delivery prevents such disruptions -because onboard ships, every moment counts.
Networking in Style
The engaging and dynamic gathering united 125 stakeholders from the UAE’s marine engineering community. Discussions on replaceable engine components flowed seamlessly, much like the evening’s maritime merriment on the Palm Jumeirah beach at the plush Five Hotel, proving that industry insights and good times can sail together in perfect harmony. Gagan Deep Katyal, Director of Avid Marine and the event’s sponsor, commended the IMarEST UAE branch for its unwavering commitment to strengthening connections among the Middle East’s maritime stakeholders and serving as a vital platform for the exchange of cutting-edge technical knowledge, fostering industry growth and collaboration.
