Commissioning of ship electrical systems

Commissioning for the maritime sector

Effective commissioning to ensure reliability in marine environments

The commissioning of ship electrical systems is a crucial step in ensuring that all equipment operates safely, compliantly, and reliably. Whether for icebreakers, transport ships, ferries, or any vessel requiring complex electrical installations, this service aims to validate the performance of onboard systems before they are transferred to operational use.

At 3E Eng., we offer a comprehensive electrical commissioning service for ships, from the shipyard to the end customer, with expertise tailored to maritime, safety, and compliance requirements.

Our marine electrical commissioning services

During the commissioning of a ship, our engineers perform a series of specialized tasks, including:

Powering up the electrical distribution buses to verify the functionality of the ship’s internal networks, including motor starters, auxiliary systems, lighting, ventilation, etc.
Commissioning equipment (pumps, navigation signals, emergency systems), ensuring that each component meets its nominal specifications.
Performing functional tests: operational tests, load tests, verification of behavior in real-life situations, identification and correction of anomalies.
Reviewing electrical diagrams: updating single-line diagrams and schematics according to modifications required by tests or adjustments made during construction.
Supporting suppliers and integrators: coordinating with manufacturers during the start-up of their equipment, verifying that interfaces and controls are compliant.
Final inspection and transfer of systems to the customer (e.g., the Coast Guard), ensuring that documentation, test reports, and lockout/tagout protocols are complete.

Recognized expertise in the maritime sector

Our teams have participated in the electrical commissioning of vessels for the Canadian Coast Guard, the Société des traversiers du Québec, and the Royal Canadian Navy. These large-scale projects illustrate our ability to work on complex electrical systems in a maritime context, while adhering to the highest standards of quality and safety.
