Progress Report #09 | February 2023
Introduction
The scaffolding and tenting are now complete as the Vessel is now weather proofed and sitting in position on the Shipyard floor in the San Lorenzo production facility.
Pipe work, insulation works, sound dampening and hot-works are ongoing.
The welding segments are continuously being examined thoroughly by ABS classification society, San Lorenzo and Arrow as we go along.
Welding deflection tests in the hull were carried out by San Lorenzo and witnessed by Harry V Noonan Arrow PM
As mentioned in the last report, the overall quality of the aluminium work is excellent and the Yard foreman is big on cleanliness and during this period. Our intention is for this good practice to prevail.
