Misc. Equipment

From bearings and seals to crane attachments, clamshell buckets, and electrical components, The Marine Yard maintains a broad and constantly changing inventory of marine components and lifting equipment sourced directly from active vessels and salvage operations.

At The Marine Yard, marine components represent the deepest and most varied layer of our inventory. As a division of River Salvage Inc., we continuously acquire vessel components through salvage, fleet decommissioning, and project take-outs — building an inventory that spans drivetrain hardware, electrical systems, crane and excavator attachments, hull fittings, and a wide range of hard-to-find marine parts.

Our components inventory is particularly valuable for operators maintaining older or out-of-production vessels where new OEM parts are scarce, expensive, or have long lead times. Because we source directly from working vessels, we frequently carry components that are no longer available through standard supply channels — including legacy engine parts, older gearbox components, period-specific electrical hardware, and discontinued fittings.

Whether you are looking for a single replacement part, a collection of components for a vessel refit, crane and lifting attachments for a marine construction project, or bulk surplus hardware for a fleet maintenance program, our inventory is one of the most practical sources in the inland and coastal marine industry. Stock changes constantly — contact us with your specific part requirements and we will check current availability.

Component Categories

1

Drivetrain Components

Shaft couplings, bearings, cutlass bearings, stuffing boxes, shaft seals, strut bearings, and related drivetrain hardware for commercial vessels across a range of shaft diameters and configurations.

2

Crane & Excavator Attachments

Hook blocks, main and auxiliary blocks, ball & hook assemblies, clamshell buckets, grapples, and rigging hardware sourced from decommissioned marine cranes and lifting equipment.

3

Electrical & Control Systems

Marine switchgear, control panels, junction boxes, circuit breakers, starters, and electrical distribution components pulled from commercial vessels and floating plant during decommissioning.

4

Engine & Gearbox Parts

Surplus engine components, gearbox internals, heat exchangers, turbochargers, injectors, and related engine room parts harvested from salvaged vessels and take-out engine programs.

5

Hull Fittings & Hardware

Through-hull fittings, portlights, hatches, watertight doors, ventilators, cleats, bitts, fairleads, and general structural hardware from commercial vessels across the inland and coastal fleet.

6

Anchors, Chain & Ground Tackle

Stockless anchors, hall anchors, anchor chain, swivels, shackles, and complete ground tackle assemblies in a range of sizes and weight ratings for commercial vessels and work barges.

Crane & Excavator Attachments

Alongside our marine components inventory, The Marine Yard carries a rotating selection of crane and excavator attachments sourced through salvage operations and fleet decommissioning. These include lifting blocks, rigging hardware, and material-handling attachments suitable for marine construction, vessel loading operations, and dredging work.

Stock is variable and changes regularly. Contact us with your specific equipment requirements and we will check current availability.

1

Hook Block

Heavy-duty hook blocks for crane lifting operations, available in a range of rated capacities. Sourced from decommissioned marine cranes and lifting equipment.

2

Ball & Hook

Headache balls and swivel hook assemblies for crane rigging — used to add weight and control rotation during lifts. Various weight ratings available.

3

Main Block

Main crane load blocks for primary hoisting lines, accommodating multi-part line configurations for high-capacity lifts on marine and construction cranes.

4

Auxiliary Block

Auxiliary hoist blocks for secondary crane lines — used for lighter lifts and precision placement work alongside the main hoisting system.

5

Rigging

Wire rope slings, chain slings, synthetic slings, shackles, turnbuckles, and associated rigging hardware for marine and construction lifting operations.

6

Shackles

Anchor shackles, bow shackles, and screw-pin shackles in a range of working load ratings — essential hardware for rigging assemblies, lifting slings, and ground tackle connections.

7

Grapple

Excavator and crane grapple attachments for handling scrap, debris, timber, and bulk materials — frequently available from salvage and dredging equipment disposals.

8

Clamshell Buckets

Clamshell buckets for crane and excavator use — suitable for dredging, bulk material handling, and excavation work. Various capacities sourced from decommissioned dredging and marine plant.

Common Uses

1

Fleet Maintenance & Repair

Sourcing replacement components for ongoing fleet maintenance — fittings, bearings, seals, and electrical hardware to keep commercial vessels in continuous service.

2

Older Vessel Support

Finding discontinued or hard-to-source parts for older vessels where new OEM supply has dried up — our salvage-sourced inventory frequently carries legacy components unavailable elsewhere.

3

Vessel Refit & Conversion

Sourcing bulk components for vessel refit, repowering, or conversion projects — electrical systems, piping assemblies, hull hardware, and engine room components available in quantity.

4

New Build Cost Reduction

Outfitting new vessel builds with surplus components where serviceable used parts deliver significant cost savings over new OEM procurement — electrical gear, hardware, and lifting equipment.

5

Parts Harvesting Programs

Acquiring decommissioned vessels or component lots as parts donors for fleet maintenance programs — systematic harvesting of usable components before vessel scrapping or disposal.

6

Salvage & Emergency Repair

Rapid sourcing of replacement components for vessels undergoing emergency repair or salvage work — drawing on our constantly updated inventory to minimise vessel downtime.

Why Source Marine Components From The Marine Yard

We acquire components directly from vessels we have salvaged and decommissioned — giving you access to the broadest possible selection of marine parts, including hard-to-find items no longer available through standard channels.

1

Direct Salvage Source

Every component comes from a vessel we have worked on directly — known vessel background, honest condition assessment, and no broker chain between you and the part.

2

Hard-to-Find Parts

Our salvage operations regularly yield legacy and discontinued components — parts for older engines, out-of-production gearboxes, and obsolete fittings no longer available new.

3

Broadest Component Range

Drivetrain, electrical, crane attachments, hull hardware, engine parts, and ground tackle — the widest variety of any category in our inventory, spanning virtually all vessel systems.

4

Competitive Pricing

Surplus and salvage-sourced components at a fraction of new OEM cost — practical savings for fleet operators, refit projects, and new builds sourcing non-critical hardware.

5

Constantly Changing Stock

New components arrive continuously through ongoing salvage work. Contact us with specific part requirements — we check current inventory and respond promptly.
