DryDock Magazine recently interviewed Harun (Aaron) Duzgoren (CCO), and Kevin Peters (Director, Technical Sales & Environmental Services) about a significant 100+ tonne rudder repair operation carried out afloat on a fully laden mainline container vessel.

The installation of complete SOx scrubber systems is entirely possible without taking the vessel out of the water. Subsea Global Solutions' involvement is focused on precision cutting of the hull penetrations for the sea chest openings and overboard spool pipe installation below the waterline.

3 month out of dry dock, galvanic corrosion caused heavy cavitation/erosion damage on PORT and STBD side rudders.

Subsea Global Solutions can restore your propeller blades as a permanent repair, to OEM design geometry by cold static loading with our underwater propeller blade press.

The benefits of removing a damaged bow thruster afloat are many. The customer was able to prevent further damage to the bearings and gears caused by the presence of seawater in the gear housing and the procedures allows the units to be overhauled prior to the vessels next dry-dock—or, they can be re-installed afloat by Subsea Global Solutions, which would help to eliminate the need for additional tug cost.

The project was executed with two Subsea Global Solutions teams working around the clock. While the vessel trimming process was in motion, the team onboard the vessel began to drain the oil from the thruster while the dive team began removing the bow thruster tunnel gratings to gain full access to the bow thruster.

Subsea Global Solutions started its underwater repair process by establishing load-rated rigging points above the propeller using 4F Class A wet welding procedures to allow safe new replacement propeller blade transfer of the propeller blades.
