We received an enquiry for a rudder repair on a 120-meter trawler. The ship was operating off the coast of the Shetland Islands when a defect occurred on its flap rudder, making it difficult to navigate safely. We immediately mobilized a diver/technician team to the vessel’s location in Lerwick.
The diver/technicians arrived at the ship’s remote location very quickly after the green light for the operation had been given.
Because of the remote location of the vessel there was no suitable drydock close by. By immediately mobilizing a team to the Shetland Islands to carry out a temporary repair, we made it possible for the owner to sail his vessel safely to a drydock of his choice in the Netherlands.
If ever you need assistance with the underwater part of your vessel, give us a call. We can then tell you if the repair is feasible and start working on its handling.
