Inspection and Repair of Ship after grounding
We were called out for an inspection of a ship that had grounded and needed to identify potential damages.
Pre-Service inspection:
Our dive team initiated an inspection of the vessel and discovered that all four blades of the ship’s propeller were damaged, and the hull has sustained scratches. In consultation with the class surveyor, the shipowner, and NMS, we determined it was necessary to cut all four tips of the propeller blades to minimize the ship’s downtime. The next day, NMS dispatched a team of specialist to carry out the cutting operation.
Repair process:
To ensure that most of the propeller remained intact, it was crucial to remove only the damaged parts. Therefore, the team took precise measurements to ensure a minimal cut and used a special hydraulic cutter to make a straight cut.
This helped ensure that the ship did not experience any vibrations during the subsequent sailing, allowing them to continue their journey the same day.
We always strive to be ready to respond whenever our customer need us.
Thanks to our team for a well-executed task!
