General Ship Repairs at Limassol’s Port

A riding squad of 50 technicians from ARCO LTD including certified welders, pipe fitters, tillers & carpenters flew from Greece to Cyprus at the end of Oct 2014 for carrying out various steel renewals & pipe repairs on board a luxury cruise vessel during her wet dock period at Limassol’s port within the tight time framework of 10 calendar days.

The process:

NAVKRATIS having the technical “know-how” and procurement expertise in executing major ship repairs & conversions, supported both ARCO and ship manager in all the phases of this particular project, starting from the tendering phase and ending to the closure phase. Our team collected full jobs specifications from the client, assisted the contractor in submitting a detailed turn-key proposal, prepared the works schedule based on ARCO’s allocated manpower and vessel’s wet dock schedule, monitored the logistics operations securing the safe & prompt arrival of ARCO’s tools / materials in Limassol, and finally, monitored all the jobs carried out by ARCO ensuring that work results will meet customer’s budget, time and quality goals.

An indicative list of the works conducted by ARCO, in collaboration with NAVKRATIS, is presented hereunder:

  • The davits’ track rollers were replaced in eight life boats
  • Satisfactory load test was performed after completion of all steel works in the l/b davits, as per Class requirements.
  • Installation of a new supplied sea water cooled condenser in one Air Condition main unit, as well as construction of copper nickel piping for connecting the A/C unit with the existing systems.
  • Several external weather tight doors – insulated type A-60 – were supplied & installed on board.
  • Swimming pools tiles were removed, the surface was properly cleaned and maintained and new mosaic tiles were placed and grouted according to ship’s request.

The three key elements for this success story were the proper planning of works, the smooth & efficient coordination of all involved parties and the local supply & administration support that ARCO’s team enjoyed from NAVKRATIS during the ship’s wet dock repairs in Limassol.
