FEATURED CASUALTY
Complete Hull Section Replaced Underwater
A world’s first in underwater repair: the insertion of a complete, prefabricated replacement hull section in a badly damaged ship at anchor. The work was done in collaboration with a major salvage company.
The insert was engineered and fabricated and then installed into the ship’s hull so that it could sail from Denmark to China where it was able to drydock and effect permanent repairs to the hull.
A casualty rarely presents a standard repair environment. Access, hull geometry, sea conditions, class requirements and time all shape the response.
The casebook shows how purpose-built equipment and close technical coordination can create options that are not obvious at first inspection.
