The Hydrex team installed 14 larger doubler frames, as well as many smaller ones. The Hydrex technicians cut away the old plating around the brackets on the port side of one of the guiding frames in the cargo hold. The worn tubes (left) were also removed and replaced with new ones (right). 4
The inserts in the cargo hold bottom plating were positioned and then secured with a full penetration weld. Insert repairs in bottom plating To repair holes in the bottom plating of the cargo hold, the Hydrex diver/ technicians installed two insert plates, measuring 600 x 600 mm and 500 x 450 mm (see pictures in the top left corner of this page). After they had cut away the damaged areas they prepared the edges of both holes. Next the new inserts were positioned and kept in place with screw docks. A full penetration weld was then used to secure the plates, finishing the second part of the operation. Installation of new brackets on frame in cargo hold Simultaneously with the other two repairs, the Hydrex team also replaced plating of the damaged port side brackets of one of the large container guiding frames in the cargo hold (see pictures in the middle row of page 4). Pins are pushed through this plating and into tubes in the hold wall to secure the frames. This allows the crew to reposition the frames or remove them according to the requirements of the cargo that is transported. The Hydrex techni- Hydrex installed two inserts in the cargo hold and several new brackets on one of the frames. New pins were also fabricated to fit inside the new plating and tubes behind it. 5 cians cut away the old plating on the frames as well as on the hold wall and installed new plating with full penetration welds. They also replaced the old worn tubes in the cargo hold wall and the securing pins with new ones (see pictures on the bottom row of page 4 and in the top right corner of this page). Carrying out these three repairs during one operation while the vessel was at anchorage illustrates the flexi- bility and professionalism of Hydrex and its staff members. The company’s goal has always been to keep a vessel out of drydock as much as possible and to carry out needed repairs or maintenance with the least possible interruption to the sailing schedule. With no drydock close by, this was extremely important for this customer. The Hydrex technical department has the know-how and experience to create tailor-made solutions for the specific problems encountered by a shipowner, while the diver/technicians have been trained to perform these operations in the shortest possible time frame and without losing the quality Hydrex is known for.
