Oceanic Freight Lines required immediate hull maintenance for five of their primary commercial cargo ships. The scope included complete surface preparation and the application of marine-grade anti-fouling coatings to improve fuel efficiency.
The dry dock availability was strictly limited. Any delay in our timeline would result in massive financial penalties for the client due to missed shipping schedules. The local humidity also posed a threat to paint curing times.
We assigned a 24-hour rotational crew utilizing automated grit-blasting robotics for the large, flat hull areas. This allowed human technicians to focus on complex curves and propeller shafts. All five vessels were relaunched ahead of schedule.
