01 Jun 2002
The ship repair, maintenance and conversion yard A&P Southampton has recently completed an unusual project with the refit of Coflexip Stena Offshore's CSO Seawell, an offshore support vessel, at their King George V drydock.
The Seawell is a highly technical vessel, accommodating three moonpools, two diving bells, diver decompression chambers, hyperbaric lifeboats, and a derrick with active heave capability. It is normally deployed for well intervention in the North Sea.
Seawell arrived in Southampton in March for a drydock and repair period lasting just over five weeks. Works involved routine repairs including steelwork, pipework replacement and modifications, repairs to the azimuth thrusters, shipside valves, steam systems, sewage systems and painting. While it was in drydock the vessel also underwent various surveys and classification approvals and also had modifications to the helideck.
A&P Shipcare Southampton has also recently completed pre-season repairs to the P&O European Ferries Fast Cat Portsmouth Express the vessel required general repairs including cleaning, painting, and main engine maintenance.
Elsewhere within the A&P Group, A&P Shipcare Dover has just completed working on the repair contract for the MV Scirocco, a passenger ferry managed by Bluewater Marine which operates on the Ferrimaroc Service from Almera in Spain to Morocco.
The repairs involved 12 men working aboard the vessel alongside in Almera to complete two main engine overhauls and one generator overhaul together with other ancillary engine equipment overhauls.
