On November 3, the repair of PATRICIA OLDENDORFF, a large marine damage repair project, was completed. In this project, CHI(Guangdong) took 14 days to complete the replacement of 450 tonnes steel structure.

Due to reefing, Patricia suffered different degrees of damage to the bow of the hull, the right side bottom plate of No.2 to No.6 compartments. After undertaking the project, CHI(Guangdong) arranged the first docking of the vessel in the shortest possible time, delineated the cutting line, and formulated the segment pre-fabrication plan. Before the second docking of PATRICIA, the project team organized a special meeting on docking to carry out a special study on a series of safety control difficulties such as cutting old segments, leaving roots, transferring, lifting and fixing on square barges, etc.

After precise calculation, CHI(Guangdong) designed the support size and welding position in advance, and strengthened the bow area of the hull. In the process of hull structure assembly, welding and other operations, the project team followed the standards and passed the inspection of hull weld UT and RT in batches. It took CHI(Guangdong) only 14 days to complete the cutting and replacing of nearly 450 dwt of sea-damaged steel structure, and won the high appreciation of the customer.
