A vessel that got held up in the Dominican Republic after falling prey to propeller trouble was back up and running within hours after an urgent call to FN Diving Rotterdam.
The Netherlands-based ship-repair company organised a team to attend the vessel the next day. On arrival the FN Diving team started immediately with an inspection. After consulting its propeller repair partner, a repair plan was made allowing FN Diving to repair the propeller on site within the vessels schedule. To assure a minimum delay for the vessel, the decision was made to crop and repair the damage in a way that maintained the propellers' hydro-dynamic requirements.
Within 12 hours, all blades were cropped and hydro-dynamically reshaped, allowing the vessel to continue her voyage. According to FN Diving, the operation was possible due to a smooth co-operation between the team, the ship's staff and the propeller repair partner, resulting in a cost and time effective repair for the vessel.
