VideoRay hull inspection lyyn compare

Posted by admin on August 30th, 2009 and filed under pa oil boom | No Comments »

A pretty good video of what can go wrong on a ship. The vessel had just come out of drydock and was mooring up to a pier. An oil containment boom got caught in its starboard propeller and caused some pretty nasty damage. In video #1 youll notice as I start flying forward of the ship there is the foam material inside its keel cooler and all along the hull. Thats the material that is used to keep the oil containment boom afloat in those square modules you see. So now they have to hire divers to remove the oil boom from their propeller, pick out the foam from around their keel cooler and probably go back into drydock to fix their propeller and shaft
