25th STASCo vessel refit

LNG carrier Al Rekayyat marks STASCo’s (SHELL)

25th vessel repair at N-KOM since its opening in

2010. The 216,200m3 carrier underwent general

drydocking and repairs at the facility, highlights of

which include modification to the purifier steam

heating line, stern tube machining and seal re-

newal, propeller edge modification and corrosion

repairs on the blades, LSMGO boiler modification

and HIMAP for switchboards. In addition to these,

modifications were also carried out for all cargo

tank pump tower sliding pads.

Schneekluth duct installation for Maran Tankers N-KOM has carried out its first Schneekluth duct installation for Maran Tanker’s

306,093dwt VLCC Maran Corona, sistership of VLCC Maran Carina which was docked in

N-KOM last month. The installed duct system not only enhances vessel propulsion and

performance but also decreases vibration and tension damage on the vessel.

Key repairs carried out during the drydocking period include propeller removal to facili-

tate aft stern tube bearing repairs and steel renewal to facilitate hull repairs.

General repairs for Vela’s Almizan Star Vela International Marine’s VLCC Almizan Star has undergone drydocking

and general repairs, similar to that carried out for three of its sister vessels

previously at the shipyard.

Key work-scope carried out:

Upgrading main engine main bearing

Renewal of main ballast spools

Removal, inspection and pressure testing of main cargo line, main IG line

and bunker line

even on short notice. Safety standards

in the yard is the best I’ve seen in the

region, with the team readily proactive

and receptive to suggestions.

Would you come back again to N-KOM

for subsequent repair jobs?

I would definitely want to come back to

N-KOM for future repairs. The shipyard

understands our requirements and has

continuously delivered results.

How has your experience at N-KOM been

so far?

This is the fourth Vela docking in N-KOM

and I have been very pleased with the

performance of the team so far.

In your opinion, what differentiates

N-KOM from other yards you have been

in?

N-KOM has a very well equipped facility

overall. I have not encountered any prob-

lems with the availability of resources,
