Keeping a vessel operating safely, efficiently and reliably depends on more than routine maintenance alone. Access to expert technical support, genuine spare parts and experienced service professionals plays a critical role in maximising uptime, reducing unexpected breakdowns and extending the service life of marine systems and components.

With decades of expertise in marine driveline technology, ZF Aftermarket supports vessel owners and operators throughout the entire lifecycle of their marine propulsion systems.

Its comprehensive service offering includes transmissions, thrusters and control systems, covering diagnostics, lubricants, repairs, overhauls, retrofit solutions, repowering support and expert technical advice tailored to the needs of each vessel.

While routine servicing helps maintain performance, preventative maintenance is equally important in ensuring long-term reliability.

"Marine propulsion systems operate in demanding conditions and are critical to a vessel's performance," said Shane Trenbath, Technical Services Manager at ZF in Oceania.

"Preventative maintenance and scheduled overhauls allow operators to identify component wear before it reaches a critical point, reducing the likelihood of unexpected failures and helping avoid costly downtime.

“That's why ZF invests in a strong local service network backed by genuine parts, specialist technicians and global engineering expertise to help operators keep their vessels operating reliably throughout their service life."

Supporting customers across Australia and New Zealand is ZF's Marine Service network, comprising Service Partners and Service Points offering capabilities ranging from Level 1 and Level 2 repairs through to workshop-equipped facilities capable of carrying out complete transmission overhauls.

Backed by ZF's global engineering expertise, the Marine Service network provides customers with specialist technical knowledge and OEM-quality service.

Additional assistance is provided by the ZF Customer Service Team via +61 (0)2 9679 555, while the ZF Partner Finder helps customers quickly locate authorised service providers for maintenance, repairs and ongoing support.

Together, ZF’s aftermarket capabilities provide marine owners and operators with the confidence that expert support is always available to maximise uptime, extend equipment life and keep vessels operating when it matters most.
