Defense Maritime Solutions (DMS) is the sole source of all Defense Maritime Solutions (formerly
Wartsila Defense, Inc., Wartsila-Lips Inc., John Crane-Lips, Inc., John Crane Marine) products; stern tube shaft seals, rudder stock seals, bulkhead seals, and bearings for the marine market. Wartsila procured the John Crane Marine Deep Sea Seals product line. In addition, DMS is teamed with
Trelleborg Sealing Solutions (Orkot) in some of our proprietary unique designs for various seal and bearing applications.
No companies are authorized to sell or represent our products. All potential buyers and/or resellers have to formally submit written Request for Quotation (RFQ) to DMS. The quotations offered from DMS will contain fair and reasonable prices that are generated from an "internal only" price list. The United
States government and its agencies will receive the best offer available for these products.
DMS does not authorize privately owned shipyard installations of our products since we hold all proprietary rights to the products and latest engineered design changes. DMSI will not warrant any repairs or warrant any new installations in which a DMS Technical Representative has not been contracted to properly install or test the product using latest testing and acceptance standards.
DMS provides a pro-rated limited warranty on products and service installations. DMS will evaluate any claim and report findings in writing to the appropriate agency or shipyard. If claim is found warranted, DMS will repair and/or provide parts free of charge to correct the reported issue. If a claim is found no fault of DMS, we will charge for parts & service at our published rates. Claims must be filed within the year DMS products or services are provided.
DMS maintains a listing of OEM "Qualified Technical Representatives" who are factory trained and certified. DMS Technical Representatives are the only individuals with access to all current OEM drawing revisions, technical data sheets, service bulletins, and other proprietary information.
