Tru-Marine has been officially recognised by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Marine Machinery & Equipment (MHI-MME) as a Top Global Authorised Repair Agent (ARA) for MET turbochargers, one of the marine industry’s most demanding and prestigious service authorisations.
This recognition reflects the confidence placed by the Maker in Tru-Marine’s engineering discipline, operational consistency, and ability to deliver Maker-aligned service standards across a global operating footprint. It marks a significant milestone that reinforces Tru-Marine’s commitment to supporting shipowners and operators with reliable, compliant, and high-performance solutions.
A Milestone That Reflects Deep Technical Mastery and Global Trust
With 49 years of specialist expertise and continuous service innovation, Tru-Marine has built a strong reputation for delivering turbocharger services to fleets operating across major global trade routes.
Being recognised as a Top Global Authorised Repair Agent for MHI-MME MET turbochargers, which are installed on vessels operating worldwide, underscores Tru-Marine’s long-standing focus on precision engineering, disciplined quality assurance, and trusted customer partnerships. It also reflects the company’s consistent efforts to raise service standards across the global marine MRO sector.
From its Singapore global headquarters, Tru-Marine supports customers through eight global service stations, strategically located in key maritime hubs including Shanghai, Guangzhou, Weihai, and Zhoushan in China, as well as Rotterdam, Dubai, and Istanbul. This international footprint enables Tru-Marine to deliver the quality, reliability, and rapid response that shipowners depend on to keep vessels operational under increasing commercial and regulatory pressures.
Visit to Tru-Marine’s Singapore Headquarters
As part of this recognition, representatives from Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Marine Machinery & Equipment (MHI-MME) visited Tru-Marine’s Singapore headquarters, where the award was formally presented.
During the visit, the MHI-MME delegation conducted a walkthrough of Tru-Marine’s station to gain firsthand insight into the company’s engineering processes, technical capabilities, and quality assurance practices. The engagement allowed for direct exchanges between the Maker and Tru-Marine’s engineering and management teams, reinforcing alignment on service standards and execution.
