Technical Context
Thru-hull and piping services are performed with the vessel hauled out to provide safe access to below-the-waterline components. This allows valves, piping connections, and fittings to be serviced or replaced under controlled conditions prior to relaunch.
Includes inspection of valve operation, piping connections, and system pressure integrity before returning the vessel to service.

What this service covers
This service focuses on critical below-the-waterline components responsible for seawater intake, discharge, and onboard fluid circulation. Proper valve condition, piping integrity, and pressure testing are essential to vessel safety and operational reliability.
At Velport, thru-hull and piping work is coordinated during haul-out to allow full access to valves, strainers, and piping runs, ensuring inspection, servicing, and replacement are performed without compromising system integrity.
Q: Can I be invoiced through a U.S. entity?
A: Yes. Velport is operated by a U.S.-registered company. We provide standard U.S. invoicing (W9 available), accepting wire transfers and domestic payments. This simplifies vendor onboarding for corporate-owned vessels and insurance claims.
Q: How far is Ensenada from California?
Approximately 60 nautical miles south of San Diego. This allows easy operational access for refits and scheduled maintenance.
Q: Are systems pressure tested before relaunch?
A: Yes. Pressure testing is performed to verify system integrity prior to returning the vessel to the water.
Q: Do you fabricate new piping on site?
A: Yes. Our scope includes fabrication and installation of piping as required to replace worn or damaged sections.
Q: Are thru-hull services performed below the waterline?
A: Yes. Thru-hull valve service is performed during haul-out to allow safe access and inspection of below-the-waterline components.
