Hatch Re-Pad
01 Sep 2002
Among the latest vessels to benefit from the retrofit of MacGregor Flexipad hatch cover bearing pads is P&O Nedlloyd's 4,230 TEU container ship Jervis Bay which had all steel pads replaced by Flexipads in June.
Some 574 Flexipads were installed following the appearance of cracks at the hatches and coaming surrounding the steel bearing pads. Traditional steelto-steel pads often wear to a state that they can no longer support the full load of the hatch cover and its cargo.
