Hydraulic Service for Seagoing Vessels in the Port of Antwerp
The Port of Antwerp-Bruges is one of Europe’s largest seaports and a key hub for international cargo traffic – with global container connections, bulk handling, and heavy-duty logistics. If a ship breaks down here, the economic impact is significant.
That’s why Pokrandt offers a specialized hydraulics service directly for the Port of Antwerp – with express spare parts, on-site service, and technical support. As a certified Bosch Rexroth Repair Center, we understand the challenges of maritime hydraulic systems in offshore and harbor operations. With over 4,000 immediately available spare parts, state-of-the-art test bench technology, and decades of industry experience, we keep your ships operational – 24/7.
Our focus is on commercially operated seagoing vessels: from container ships and feeder vessels to bulk carriers, tankers, and harbor tugs – including bunker boats and offshore support vessels.We ensure that your technology keeps pace with the speed of the port.

Hydraulic Service for Seagoing Vessels
As a certified Bosch Rexroth Repair Center, Pokrandt offers professional repair and replacement of axial piston units, radial piston motors, and hydraulic valves – always using original or equivalent components. Our unique pump test benches (three-circuit 390 kW, two-circuit 290 kW), motor test bench up to 1000 Nm, and ZF gearbox test stand ensure precise measurements, approvals, and maximum operational safety.
In addition, we perform refits of complete hydraulic units, carry out fault diagnostics directly on board, manage the safe removal and installation of entire systems, and, if required, monitor complete hydraulic systems. If individual components are no longer available, we develop custom solutions – from reclassification to the suitable selection of alternative components.

Your Benefits with Pokrandt Hydraulics
Downtime doesn’t follow office hours – that’s why our hydraulic team is available around the clock, 365 days a year. Whether in port or at sea: we’re ready for emergency support, spare parts coordination, or technical consultation – to get your equipment up and running again, fast.
With our powerful three-circuit test bench (390 kW), we test complex Rexroth hydraulic pumps under realistic conditions – including simultaneous load simulation and detailed performance analysis. This ensures maximum safety and accuracy during repair and approval.
For two-circuit Rexroth units, we offer a precise diagnostic and testing platform with 290 kW output. Our test benches enable rapid commissioning after repair or replacement – including full documentation of all measurement data and performance values.
Our motor test bench allows for precise functional testing of hydraulic motors up to 1000 Nm torque. This ensures your drive units operate safely, reliably, and efficiently under high loads – just as required in maritime environments.
Whether at the quay, in dry dock, or during port layover: our service technicians come directly on board and analyze your hydraulic systems on site. This enables quick fault detection and resolution – including disassembly and reinstallation of defective components, and in-house repairs at Pokrandt upon request.
