As part of its routine dock tasks, an LNG tanker had just emptied its on-board tanks in Singapore after delivering to another country.

A regular maintenance check revealed issues with its tanker that needed urgent welding. This would need to be completed in a controlled environment, with precise levels of temperature and humidity to be upheld.

The ship itself didn’t have the capacity to maintain this and the average temperature hovers around 25-28oC, and the tropical location meant that humidity levels would be contravened without the necessary intervention.

With confined space and no cooling facility, the pressure was on to find a cooling partner they could rely on.

Our engineering expertise helped our customer avoid costly penalties for delays in the maintenance schedule. In fact, our timely intervention allowed the customer to complete the welding and get the ship back in prime condition in just three days.

The customer stayed on track, on budget and on time
