COSCO (Dalian) Shipyard, also
building upon its experience,
has taken a bo ld s tep to
integrate advanced concepts
of shipbuilding design into its
conversion service model, thus
forming a new model for FPSO
conversion services. The new
model utilizes three-dimensionalmodeling and unitization design
at its core to further enhance the
technical strength of the yards
FPSO conversion abili ty.
The Technology Centre of
COSCO (Dalian) Shipyard is
now able to apply 3D modeling
software to its marine conversion
projects. The modeling of the
modified structure of the hull
was realized with the help of
the software which serves as
an integrated design platform
to promote inter-professional
communication, interference
checking and optimizing the
integration of block fabrication.The full application of the
software significantly improves
des ign qua l i t y and order
accuracy, while also making
piping and accessories margins
much more controllable.
CoSCo Sipard esabises offsre Divisi
On September 3, 2012, the

Saisfacr repairs GEnMAR DEFIAnCE i CoSCo Zusa
On Sep .2nd 2012, M/T
GENMAR DEFIANCE left the pier
slowly. Its departure marked thesuccessful completion of repairs
to the subject vessel as well as
the third vessel delivered to the
owner successfully earlier this
year.
GENMAR DEFIANCE belongs
to General Maritime Management
(Portugal) Ltd, who operates 16
tankers all over the world. Since2006, when the first vessel, M/
T Genmar Ajax, from General
maritime entered our yard for
routine inspection and repair, we
began to establish a relationship
with this client.
In 2012, on the basis of
mutual trust and understanding,
our loyal cl ients awarded aseries of vessel repairs to our
yard. In return, we selected the
best ship repair team for them.
From the initial meeting after
the superintendents arrival, we
perused the repair specification
and compiled a detailed repair
plan. Every ve days we reviewed
the projects and adjusted the plancontinually. Finally, we got upmost
recognition from the owners
side, specically for the Electrical
Department. The owner issued a
warm appreciation letter for the
excellent job done.
At the end of August the repai r
team of COSCO Shanghai efciently andeffectively accomplished repair works for
the reefer ship Waves. Furthermore, the
total repair period was shortened by 3
days compared to our original contracted
repair period. The owner of MV Waves
was very glad to keep their previous
promise of "US$ 3000 per day for every
single day in advance". Such a practice is
a very rare phenomenon in the current
bad market conditions. At the beginning
of August the contract was signed with
this reefer owner with a promise that we
could nish their entire repair within a 21-
day working period. However, after the
initial inspections, the owner found the
scope of steel inserts and renewals hadsignificantly increased by 30%.. More
seriously all the newly identified work
was located in water ballast tanks and oil
tanks which are covered by a thick layer
of insulation, plywood and gratings.
The first step after completion of
inspections, was to arrange to retain
the 100 tonnes of fuel oil in each center
oil tank that the owner wanted to keep
during the repair
.The owner has been a long-term
cooperator with COSCO Shanghai, and
they are very strict on repair period,
quality and workmanship. They never
negotiate with the shipyard about
the working period: not even for this
contract. Their attending superintendent
even asserted his belief that this project
is a mission impossible. To relieve the
huge pressure on the shipyard, this
owner even promised a bonus clause to
yard which they have never done before.
But the COSCO (Shanghai) Shipyard
repair team has become famous for its
ability to achieve impossible missions
and it combined all the available resource
in the yard to respond to the owner's
impulse to support our motive. They
made a devil of a repair plan: workers
were divided into 3 shifts to work day
and night, the QC stayed onboard to
make sure the jobs were done correctly
the rst time, and the safety supervisors
monitored the work on a 24 hour basis.
Relying on our excellent cooperation we
nally completed all the repairs 3 days in
advance. This great achievement reects
our great courage and conviction.
Recently, COSCO Zhoushan simultaneously
received three letters of appreciation from
COSCO Container Lines, COSCO Bulk Carrier
and GENERAL MARITIME MANAGEMENT
(PORTUGAL) in which they all expressed theirappreciation for the shipyards consideration
for customers.
In their letters, the customers said that
they admired COSCO Zhoushan for its
efficient performance in labour allocation,
health and safety measures, sense of
responsibility and overall high standards.
Customers also pointed out that COSCO
Zhoushan not only completed the work
before the planned departure date, but
also completed the repair work safely and
efficiently and with high quality. COSCO
Zhoushan once again showed their spirit.
Since August, COSCO (Zhoushan shipyard)
experienced typhoon conditions four times.
Facing such harsh weather conditionsincluding typhoon and continuous high
temperatures, repair staff actively contacted
shipowners to optimize their repair schemes.
At the same time, they worked very hard
against the clock during spells of good
weather to ensure the vessels were able to
sail on time. What they did won the owners
trust and praise.
In addition, Japan's NYK, Bangladesh
Brave Royal Shipping and Jia Xin International
Shipping also sent e-mails to express their
appreciation for the work and effort on
strict accident prevention and control before
typhoon and rapid recovery of production
after the typhoon: eventually completing the
repair mission in the harsh conditions to a
high standard.
This year, COSCO Zhoushan has focused
on core customers in actively improving
their attention to detail; such as carrying
out a series of work specifically to improve
customer satisfaction. For the rst half of the
year, the commercial department and ship-
repair department focused on customers care
and satisfaction, following the philosophy of
Group General Manager Wang Yuhangs "Four
Combinations".
In the process of production organization,
COSCO Zhoushan prioritized the transfer
of personnel working on other ships to the
critical worksites to ensure deadlines were
met and also successfully directed personnel
to another ship which required importantguarantee work to be completed.
In order to bet ter commun icate
with customers, all the staff of COSCO
Zhoushan participated in focused customer
maintenance activities. Firstly, the Project
Manager and SRM actively do the daily work
of communication and on-site maintenance
with the clients. Secondly, for important
projects and customers, COSCO Zhoushan
now host weekly meetings for directors and
repair managers in which customer feedback
can be immediately collected and acted upon.
Faced with extremely hot weather, COSCO
Zhoushan arranged some flexibility into its
operating hours. In one example, COSCO
Zhoushan borrowed a construction teamfrom another plant to boost productivity
where needed. In another example, the yard
improved the construction environment as
much as possible by arranging shade nets
above the main deck and using a technique
of locating ice behind fans to improve staff
working conditions. During the typhoon
season, the team made full use of daytime
working to maximize production prior to
arrival of the typhoon, and supervisors and
foremen in charge operated separately, but in
a coordinated way, which provided the best
possible guarantee of production continuity
for our customers.
COSCO Lianyungang Shipyard
has successfully completed the
repairs for three consecutive
vesse l s f r om ATLANTSKA
PLOVIDBA D.D. Both sides have
cooperated very closely and
successfully from the moment
of arrival of the rst vessel to be
repaired in our yard.
The Imperial arrived in the
yard for repair after deviating
from Guangdong. ATLANTSKA
PLOVIDBA D.D. is one of our
loyal clients and so the yard
also arranged a strong ship-
repair team and more labor and
facilities on board. The owners
representative Mr. Pace was very
satisfied with the yards ship
repair team.
The major repair work on the
vessel included; normal minor
hull repairs, sandblasting and
painting of seven cargo holds,
combination boiler repair, E/
R heater exchanger repair, oil
tank clean and other routine
mechan ica l and e lec t r i ca l
maintenance jobs.
On September 7th, 2012, the
captioned vessel sailed smoothly
f rom COSCO L ianyungang
Shipyard. COSCO Lianyungang
shipyards repair quality and
service level is excellent. This
time the work was also completed
in accordance with the schedule,
said Mr. Pace, with a smile.
