WBMEMarine Engineering · Walvis Bay
Established in Walvis Bay and trusted across the marine yard, WBME delivers ship repair, fabrication and precision engineering with the same founder-led ethic: No job too big, no job too small.
Walvis Bay Marine Engineering was established by the late Mr. Uwe Crüys in 1999 and registered in October 2000. The company was built as a well-established workshop offering high standards of workmanship to vessels, mines and industrial clients around Walvis Bay.
From Mr. Crüys' example came the ethic that still runs every job: value the customer, value the person, protect the relationship and take pride in the small things that keep expensive equipment working.
WBME covers the practical disciplines a vessel or plant job needs: rigging, fitting, machining, boiler making, fabrication, pipe work and welding, all from one Walvis Bay workshop.
General rigging for propeller shafts, rudder shafts, engines, alternators, generators, compressors, pumps and motors.
Strip, overhaul, repair, new parts, re-assembly and installation for ship repair and maintenance work.
General steel structural works, including renewal, modification, complete new builds, design, templates and material preparation.
Profile cutting, rolling, bending, manufacture and installation of marine and industrial steel structures.
Renewal, modification and complete new pipe works, including design, jigs and preparation of all materials.
Gas welding, brazing, silver soldering, MIG, TIG and arc welding across marine and metal-work projects.

Guided by the motto "No job too big, and no job too small," WBME approaches each project with skilled workmanship, practical problem solving and care for long-term customer relationships.
High standards of workmanship delivered at competitive prices and checked against practical job requirements.
Tradesmen supported by professional engineers and consultants where historical or specialist knowledge matters.
More than 25 years serving the local marine industry, plus expanding industrial and mining work.
Customers are treated as long-term relationships, not once-off tickets through the workshop.
WBME serves the local marine industry first, while expanding into mining, ports, offshore and general industrial work where fabrication, machining and repair skill is needed.
Every job is planned around a practical standard: safe work, reliable workmanship, efficient execution and cost control without cutting corners.
When a vessel is in dock or a plant component fails, buyers need straight answers. WBME brings ship repair, maintenance, fabrication, pipe work and machining capability into one practical response.
