Serdijn Ship Repair had been awarded the order for the replacement of the 26.000 kg main boiler. Initially the managers (German based W-O Shipping) wanted to remove the old boiler through vessels side. An Engineer from Serdijn Ship Repair learned that it’s better to release the boiler from the vessel by partially removing the vessels funnel.

Serdijn lifted the broken boiler and installed the new boiler at the same place. Whilst the pipe fitters and welders were connecting all piping, a different team re-instated the funnel and all internals which were temporarily removed.

Serdijn also carried out hull damage repairs to the vessel side as well as to vessels transverse stern plate. Also renewal of several deck frames and the replacement of piping to a ballast and cooling water system were examined.

The vessel left Serdijn’s jetty 1 within 2 weeks of labour, sailing happily ever after.
