Project Description
CLIENT | Ship Management Company
VESSEL | Container Ship
DATE | Jan. 2021 – Feb. 2021
LOCATION | Voyage Repair
Overview
A leading ship management company approached CTS to modify their container ship’s main engine and scrubber uptakes to ensure compliance with commercial air draft requirements. However, the vessel could not be stopped to carry out the repairs as this would require the vessel to be off hired; this presented a challenge as the project involved heavy equipment to be lifted and all work to be executed at sea in harsh weather conditions. However, CTS quickly devised a plan of action to guarantee that the work was completed safely and efficiently.
Scope of Works
CTS provided a team of experienced riggers, fitters, and certified welders to carry out the modification works on the ship’s two funnel uptakes. All work was executed at height and required a safe staging framework to access the work area. Our team implemented electric chain hoists and fabricated custom frames to assist in lifting the heavy equipment. The CTS team also constructed a temporary shelter to cover the work area and protect the crew and equipment from the weather.
