Recent Ship Repair Projects

Minor repair work was carried out on the Tug Daldy, and preparation was the key to the quick turnaround on this vessel which needed fabrication work to the bulwarks and breathers.

Ship Repair NZ set up the required equipment and organised permits for the work; cut out the damaged sections of the bulwarks and removed the damaged vent pipes; cut out further damaged sections under the deck stiffener from below the void and then the new replacements were fabricated.

A new bulwark and top pipe section were completed, as well as new under deck stiffeners and angle bracing. The air vents were cut and repaired to fit back into position, and the tug left clean and tidy to get back to its work.

The Auckland-based Barge Pohonui was brought to Ship Repair to undergo a refit project, which included the 55-metre long vessel undergoing main deck strengthening from underneath, as well as the installation of a new sea inlet to service the generator.

The vessel’s tanks were checked for thickness, while a new stack exhaust system was fabricated and installed on the deck and down to the generator engine.

An 18m section of the bin hopper side was removed and a new section fabricated and welded in position. There were two new winches mounted to the main deck along with hawse pipes to feed the chain lockers.

The project was finished off with a paint job to complete the new look of the barge.

The 54m Damen Sea Axe Advantage is heading to warmer waters, leaving Port Whangarei to meet up with its mother ship in Tahiti to assume its role as a super yacht support vessel, and Ship Repair NZ are proud have to been a part of its upgrades and renovation.

It’s the culmination of four months’ work by the team at Ship Repair NZ, who have been working behind the scenes with a crew of 35 to complete the conversion before it had its cosmetic finishing touches.
