Skilled across systems and trained for real-world conditions, Laborde technicians keep vessels working long after delivery.
Marine engines run hard. To keep them performing the way they should, you need experienced technicians who know the equipment inside and out. That includes routine service, troubleshooting, and the kind of on-the-water support that helps operators avoid major downtime.
Laborde’s marine diesel engine technicians are trained for that kind of work. They go through manufacturer-specific programs, stay up to date on changing technology, and know what it takes to keep engines running in the real world.
This article takes a closer look at how these technicians are trained, what they do in the field, and how they support vessel operators long after the engine is installed.
Laborde technicians improve engine performance by making sure everything runs the way it was designed to. That starts with proper installation and continues with routine service that keeps systems in balance—fuel, air, cooling, and exhaust.
A marine diesel engine technician checks for early signs of wear, cleans or replaces filters, verifies timing, and tests the engine under load. These steps help the engine maintain power, avoid overheating, and burn fuel more efficiently.
When something feels off, technicians use diagnostic tools to find the root cause instead of relying on guesswork. That level of troubleshooting makes it easier to fix problems quickly and prevent repeat issues. And by staying up to date on each engine platform, Laborde’s technicians know how to apply the right fixes without over-servicing or missing important details. That’s how they keep engines running stronger for longer.
Laborde supports vessel owners by keeping skilled marine technicians available throughout the life of the engine. That starts with direct access to trained personnel who can answer questions, diagnose issues, and recommend the right course of action without sending owners through layers of customer service.
Support also includes detailed documentation, remote troubleshooting when possible, and quick deployment of technicians when an on-site visit is needed. Because the technicians are familiar with multiple engine platforms and vessel types, they’re able to step in quickly and get systems back online with minimal guesswork.
That level of support matters in marine environments where every hour of downtime affects schedules and revenue.
Laborde technicians stand out because they’re trained to work in real conditions, not just controlled environments. They understand how engines behave under load, in bad weather, and during long hours of operation. That practical knowledge shapes how they approach service, from routine maintenance to complex repairs.
Each marine diesel engine technician is also familiar with the specific needs of commercial operators. They understand that quick turnaround, clear communication, and reliable work are all critical when the boat returns to service.
What sets them apart is consistency. The same technician often returns to work on the same vessel, which builds familiarity and trust over time.
Laborde’s marine technicians are trained, experienced, and ready to support vessel operators long after the engine is installed. From routine service to urgent repairs, they bring the technical knowledge and real-world experience that keep boats running and schedules on track.
