Drydocking of Vessels
Barge Hamriyah Ann after Surveyor Inspection of all barge tanks and damage marking, underwent afloat steelwork on deck plating and side shell plating. Steelwork was carried out on deck and side shell plating as well.
Similar work was carried out on Herring Ann. Being a tugboat, additional work done was the calibration of both tails shaft, rudders, propeller, and removing them out. Another important factor is to service all seawater line valves.
Halibut Ann, being drydocked in-house at LSI jetty is where the majority of our personnel were involved with Mr. Tom van Houten in charge and assisted by Mr. Muzaffar Arkate. Post taking the UTM gauging report of the complete hull and cleaning, the complete forward fender assembly was renewed. All engines were pressure tested to check for leaks and repair. Rudder shaft and the starboard propeller shaft required renewal when checked and the rudder blades were pressure tested as well. Steering hydraulic cylinders were overhauled along with cleaning and painting of the steering compartment.
