your partner in marine gearing

With the facilities world-wide to create and support the most advanced power delivery

mechanisms for the widest range of propulsion systems and engine configurations, David Brown

can draw on a comprehensive knowledge of the marine industry. We understand that delivering

power where its needed is a vital role in the creation of turbine-driven marine propulsion

systems and requires a partner with the ability to deliver innovative and durable solutions.

David Brown has extensive experience of working hand-in-hand alongside ship builders, design consultants and ship operators,

to produce hundreds of gearboxes. Our expertise embraces the design, development, manufacture, through-life service and

repair of drive systems for all kinds of surface and submarine vessels, including main propulsion drives of unlimited power.

They also have the technology to provide fast, effective repair

services anywhere, to help you restore or enhance equipment

performance keeping downtime to a minimum.

Emergency Repair/Maintenance

However well you plan, there can be times when disaster

strikes. Fortunately David Browns ResQ service will give you
