For Hull protection, four coats of international paint were applied which included two coats of Antifouling. All aluminum anodes were replaced, thickness gauging of the hull was conducted as per IACS regulations. A small area of diminished hull plate was observed during the inspection which was cropped out and replaced with Class certified plate by the shipyard.

All deck equipment was checked and serviced including the Anchor winch and chain.

The successful docking will enable the vessel to continue with her tasking until her next scheduled docking in thirty months’ time.
