Ship Repair

When it comes to ship repair and maintenance METALCA is your first point of contact in Panama. We offer you the processing of marine grade steel and aluminum and working upon merchant ships, multipurpose or construction vessels.

With one of the largest steel importers in Panama as a long-term trusted partner, we can offer you marine grade steel, including ASTM A131 or ASTM A572, for your designated task in the maritime industry. Furthermore we can exclusively offer and process marine aluminum in grades 5083 / 5086 for sheets and 6061 for extruded profiles.

For processing and manufacturing we use an automated cutting station. Using plasma cutting or oxy-fuel equipment we are able to cut complex pieces from aluminum, stainless steel or ferrous steel. The last finish is applied to all components in our sandblasting and painting workshop upon your request.

Depending on the required task our staff apply the following welding processes: SMAW, FCAW, MIG welding or TIG welding. The latter being used for modifying or repairing cunife pipe systems in highly corrosive brackish water environments.
