Diagnose the fault
| Symptom | Likely Sabroe-Sabroe parts to inspect |
|---|---|
| Loss of compression or power on one unit | Cylinder liner, piston rings, piston crown |
| High exhaust temperature on one cylinder | Discharge valve / nozzle, discharge valve spindle |
| Knocking or pounding from the crankcase | Main, crankpin or crosshead bearings |
| Excessive cylinder-oil consumption | Liner wear, piston rings, shaft-seal rings |
| Difficult or failed starting | Starting air valve, oil pump (plunger / barrel) or rail valve |
| Black or smoky exhaust | Discharge valve nozzles, slide valves, turbocharger interface |
| Oil leak at the piston-rod gland | Shaft seal and sealing ring set |
| Water in the combustion space | Cylinder head, cooling-jacket O-rings, liner |

The complete guide
Wattmare is a specialist Sabroe refrigeration compressor spare parts supplier serving India, the UAE, Singapore and the wider global fleet. From our base in Bhavnagar — beside the Alang ship-recycling yard — we supply genuine, OEM-equivalent and reconditioned spares for every generation of Sabroe-Sabroe reciprocating marine main engine, dispatched worldwide in 24–48 hours.
The refrigeration compressors on this page are built by Sabroe of Aarhus, Denmark, a refrigeration specialist since 1897. Its SMC, CMO and HPO reciprocating compressors drive reefer and provision plants across the world fleet. We supply spares for all of them.
The single most important question on any Sabroe-Sabroe order is whether the engine is an SMC series, an CMO or an CMO. The Sabroe SMC series is valve gear-controlled — oil pump, fuel cam, chain drive and mechanical discharge-valve gear. The CMO / CMO and the Sabroe CMO are electronically controlled, replacing the valve gear with a water-cooled supply unit, rail valves, flow-control units (FCU) and hydraulically actuated discharge valves. Liners, covers, crowns and bearings are broadly common by bore, but injection and actuation parts are entirely different — always give us your exact SMC series / CMO / CMO designation.
For every Sabroe SMC, CMO and HPO refrigeration compressor we stock cylinder liners, pistons and piston rings, connecting rods, suction and discharge valves, valve plates, shaft seals, crankshaft and main bearings, oil pumps, gaskets and unloader parts — genuine, OEM-equivalent and Alang-reconditioned.
Bhavnagar sits beside Alang, where hundreds of vessels are dismantled every year — including ships still running ageing Sabroe SMC series reciprocating engines. That gives Wattmare direct access to genuine, low-hour parts that are slow or costly to source from distributors, at a fraction of new-part cost and lead time. For hard-to-find SMC series oil pumps, chain drives, liners or running gear, this is the fastest source in the world. Browse our reconditioned marine spare parts range, the wider main engine spare parts category, or sister brands like MAN engine spares and Mitsubishi UEC.
Send your Sabroe engine make and model with a photo or part number on WhatsApp, or use the quote form. We confirm availability and price — usually within the hour — and dispatch in-stock items within 24 hours. Typical air-freight transit is 12–18 hours to the UAE, 16–24 to Singapore, 20–26 to Greece and Turkey, and 28–36 to Northern Europe.
FAQ
Yes — cylinder liners are one of our strongest Sabroe-Sabroe lines. We carry original-bore and reconditioned liners for the SMC series and SMC series, plus the rest of the SMC series range (the SMC series range), honed to OEM tolerance with measurement reports. Most legacy SMC series liners are recovered and reconditioned beside Alang.
The Sabroe SMC series is a valve gear-controlled (mechanical) reciprocating — oil pump, fuel cam and mechanical discharge-valve actuation. The CMO / CMO and the Sabroe CMO are electronically controlled, replacing the valve gear with a water-cooled supply unit, rail valves, flow-control units (FCU) and hydraulically actuated discharge valves. Liners, crowns and bearings are broadly similar by bore, but the injection and discharge-valve actuation parts are completely different — always quote your exact SMC series, CMO or CMO model.
We cover the full Sabroe range — the SMC series (SMC 104, 108, 112), the CMO series and the HPO range — every Sabroe refrigeration compressor.
Reconditioned parts ship with inspection reports, dimensional measurements and photographs, and are accepted by class societies (Lloyd’s Register, DNV, ABS, BV, ClassNK, RINA) on survey. Genuine Sabroe parts carry full material and test certificates.
In-stock items dispatch within 24 hours from Bhavnagar. Typical air-freight transit to the UAE (Dubai, Jebel Ali, Fujairah) is 12–18 hours. Singapore is 16–24 hours, Greece and Turkey 20–26, and Northern Europe 28–36.
Yes — discharge valves, injector nozzles, high-pressure oil pumps, plungers and barrels for Sabroe SMC series engines, plus water-cooled supply units, rail valves, flow-control units (FCU) and injection equipment for CMO / CMO and CMO engines, are stocked and bench-tested before dispatch.
Genuine parts come from the original maker (Sabroe / Sabroe) with full certificates. OEM-equivalent are quality aftermarket parts at 30–50% less. Reconditioned are low-hour parts recovered from Alang, inspected and certified to OEM tolerance, at up to 70% less with a 30-day warranty.
Yes — obsolete Sabroe SMC series parts are our specialty. Beside Alang we recover low-hour oil pumps, chain drives, liners, crowns and running gear from SMC series-powered vessels being dismantled, then inspect and certify them. For the SMC series range and SMC series engines this is often the fastest source in the world.
Yes — suction and discharge valves, valve plates, shaft seals, cylinder liners, pistons, rings, bearings and complete overhaul kits for the Sabroe SMC, CMO and HPO, genuine and Alang-reconditioned.
Send your engine model and a photo or part number on WhatsApp (+91 96647 18068), or use the quote form. We confirm availability and price, usually within the hour — whether you need genuine, OEM-equivalent, used or reconditioned parts, or a complete overhaul kit.
We ship from Alang/Bhavnagar to the UAE, Dubai, Singapore, Greece, Turkey and every major port worldwide in 24–48 hours. Parts are export-packed with VCI wrapping, wooden crates and palletisation, with photos shared before dispatch and full export documentation included.
Yes — decarbonising, top-overhaul and major-overhaul kits assembled to your exact SMC series, CMO / CMO or CMO model, with liners, piston rings, discharge valves, discharge valves, shaft-seal rings, gaskets, O-rings and fasteners included.
