DD Dubai Project
Chemical Tanker PHE Overhauling
Jan24, 2024
We were requested to overhaul all coolers of our customer’s 35K Chemical Tanker during her docking at Dubai Dry Docks World, with scope to remove/refit plate packs, renew gaskets and perform in situ press test for two Central Coolers, one Lub Oil and one M/E jacket.
Our team of service engineers attended the vessel while at S/Y and after the initial inspection was conducted, we discussed with our customers about the poor condition of the coolers, the overhauling options, we finalized the scope and timeline of the works.
Both Central Cooler frames were found with heavy pitting marks and Maritech was asked by the customers to coordinate with a local workshop for the machining of the frame sets and their correct re-installation onboard vessel.
After all the subject works completion and checkmark verification, Maritech engineers made a joint inspection with the vessel’s Superintendent and Chief Engineer and delivered all units in operation.
The specific project was most challenging and even though other workshops had turned it
down due to the poor condition of the coolers, it was completed successfully and within the given timeframe, enabling our customers to save substantial time and budget.
