Container supports on deck are being pre-fabricated at Odessos Shipyard according to the owner’s supply drawing. The elements are positioned onboard by means of a crane, afterwards �tting and welding teams installed the elements on deck. The scope of work is limited to the cutting welding and grinding works. Meaning that the elements (which are shop primed) after installation needed to be painted by our shipyard. Attention was paid to towards freeing-ports, they need to be of su�cient dimen-sions.Underdeck inspection covers within the insulation were opened by Carpenter services,

in order to monitor welding works on deck closely.Installation of reinforcements in hatch-cover 4The reinforcements within the hatch-covers are executed according drawing.

TASKS PERFORMED

Works carried out on the Crown Emma were not the regular type. The Shipyard handled the repairs very profes-sionally, they delivered on their promise.We appreciate their e�orts in sorting out the issue of permanent ballast which saved a lot of extra costs. The container upgrade was carried out timely and accurately. The overhauling of generators were done with a very high degree of perfection. We believe that it was worth to go to Odessos for the repairs on Crown Emma.
