Double stern tube seal repair on pipe laying vessel in Rotterdam
Our diver/technicians replaced the seals of both stern tube assemblies of a pipe laying vessel berthed in Rotterdam. Using a Hydrex flexible mobdock they were able to carry out the entire operation on-site and underwater, saving the owner an expensive and time-consuming trip to drydock.
Once the operation was confirmed all preparations were handled swiftly and the lightweight equipment was mobilized. The operation then started with the removal of the rope guard and a thorough underwater inspection of the first stern tube seal assembly.
By organizing everything from start to finish the owner did not have to worry about making any arrangements for the repair. After the seals had been successfully replaced he could sail his vessel to its next stop free of oil leaks.
If ever you would encounter a similar situation, give us a call. We can then tell you if the repair is feasible and start working on its handling.
