CIC Changxing Shipyard has announced the successful completion of the repair of M.V. Cosco Yingkou. The subject vessel belongs to one of Canadian companies and her main dimensions are 222.5m of LOA and 32.2m of moulded breadth. The main repair scope included M/E normal overhaul, the repair of 2 sets of M/E air coolers, 4 sets of A/E air coolers, 2 sets of heaters, 6 sets of windlasses & capstans, and 2 sets of gangways, the newly opening and strengthening of manholes i.w.o. No.2 cargo holds, the removal of bunker crane, the renewal of H/C shutter packing, as well as the installation of MGO system foundation, etc.
Since the repair was quite tight with only 8-day repair period, the engineering department made a reasonable schedule and the staff of machinery & electric workshop immediately carried out the work on receipt of the order. The poor condition of M/E shaft worsened the repair process. The shipyard had to finish the most of the work before her docking, which then could ensure the re-delivery schedule. Under the command of SRM and engine supervisor, the foremen strengthened the supervision in place in order to keep everything running smoothly and efficiently. Due to the poor access condition for the device transferring, the staff worked overtime. Finally, the repair project was completed within the contract time and all the tests were successfully passed by once trial. The owner expressed their appreciation to the yard.
