Ship Automation

Ship Automation is based in Bhavnagar, which is a town that knows a lot about ships. Our office is 113 in the Eva-1 building at Attabhai Chowk. It’s a busy intersection, so there’s always something going on outside. The office itself is pretty small. We have desks covered in electronic parts, circuit boards, and old technical manuals. We spend most of our time trying to find specific parts for ship systems or talking to engineers about how to fix a problem on a vessel. It’s a bit like being a detective sometimes. We don’t have a fancy corporate office with glass walls. It’s more like a workshop where we also do some paperwork. Most of us have been in this industry for a long time and we know our way around a ship’s bridge. The room is usually a bit of a mess with boxes and cables everywhere, but we know where everything is. We grab tea from the stall downstairs a couple of times a day. We don’t really do any promotion or advertising. People in the shipping world usually find us when they have a problem that needs solving. It’s a quiet, steady kind of work and we enjoy the technical side of it. We just take each day as it comes, helping out where we can and making sure the parts get where they need to go. It is a good way to make a living here.
