We thank you for choosing our services and we hope you enjoy a Merry Christmas with your loved ones and have a spectacular New Year

On the morning of December 13 and by order of the ship owners  began the work for the replacement of the starboard side anchor, due to an irregular fold in one of its arms which prevented continued use.

The operation consisted of receiving the new anchor via land and placing it on the deck of the vessel (bow area) while using a support vessel (barge) duly moored to the bow area below the starboard anchor, carefully placed the damaged anchor on its cover to later proceed to cut the link with the chain. Once the damaged anchor was separated, it was raised by means of the ship's bow crane for storage and then, using the same crane, the new anchor was placed on the barge. Once secured by means of anchors, we proceeded to strain the new link with the chain, the pin was placed  and we proceeded to its sealing with melted lead. Checked that the union with the chain has been in optimal conditions, the safety lashings were released and the anchor was hoisted through the winch to its original position, leaving the operation concluded.

During the days 1-2 December, at the request of the shipowners of the ship we carried out the works of change of name and flag in the areas of the bows and stern of this ship. The works consisted in cleaning with hydrocleaners of the areas to be painted first, then the elimination of the previous names on the sides of the port, starboard and in the stern using the base paint in order to place later the self-adhesive stencils with the new name.

Once the stencils were placed in the stern, the new name was painted on these surfaces using lifting machines (Cherry Pickers) and for the port side with the support of a boat (barge) for fastening the Scaffolding After 6 hours of drying, the surfaces were perfectly labeled and treated with the new name of the ship.
