Experienced Marine Electronics Repair Specialists
Our marine repairs are led by a degree-qualified electronic engineer. We reverse engineer without schematics and diagnose complex faults that other repair firms cannot resolve
Our engineers work on a wide range of marine systems, including PCB boards, power supplies, control modules, and navigation equipment. Whether it’s a fault diagnosis or a full repair, we focus on getting your equipment back in service with minimal disruption.
Emergency repairs completed in 1–3 working days. Standard turnaround 3–7 working days, subject to component availability.
We operate in line with recognised quality and environmental standards, including ISO 9001 and ISO 14001, ensuring consistent service quality and responsible working practices.
Subsea Camera and Control System Repairs
We understand how critical subsea equipment is to your operations. From subsea cameras to control systems, we carry out careful repairs and refurbishment to ensure dependable performance in demanding offshore environments.
Repair of Obsolete Marine Electronics
Older systems can be difficult and expensive to replace. We regularly repair and restore obsolete marine electronics, helping extend the life of your equipment and avoid unnecessary costs.
Supporting Marine Operations Across the UK ,Scotland Overseas
Based in Newcastle upon Tyne, Northern Power Electronics supports commercial marine clients across the UK, including Scotland, the North Sea, and major port locations.
We work with operators who send equipment to our Newcastle workshop for specialist marine electronic repair, PCB repair, obsolete system refurbishment, and testing.
Our team supports equipment used in demanding vessel, subsea, and marine environments, helping reduce downtime and keep critical systems operating reliably.
We also support international marine operators who require dependable repair solutions for critical electronic systems.
Advanced PCB Repair Capabilities
ABI BoardMaster In-Circuit Test System
We operate an ABI BoardMaster for advanced PCB fault diagnosis - one of the few marine electronics repair facilities in the UK with this capability.
The BoardMaster allows us to:
- Test individual components while still soldered to the PCB
- Identify short circuits and component failures without board disassembly
- Diagnose multi-layer PCB faults invisible to standard testing
- Repair boards without schematics by comparing component signatures
- Test digital ICs, analog components, and passive components in-situ
This equipment is critical for repairing obsolete marine electronics where manufacturer schematics are unavailable or components are difficult to access.
The BoardMaster significantly increases our success rate on complex PCB repairs that other workshops reject as unrepairable.
