Artemis / Royal Princess
Ballast tanks / Contamination / Blast & Recoat In Service
The gray and black water tanks on board the Artemis were marked for cleaning, it was found that there was steel replacement required between two tanks adjoining and that due to time constraints the tanks would have to be cleaned in service prior to dry docking.
Baymarine Services were given the task of preparing the tanks for hot work. It was a complex cleaning operation as three tanks had to be cleaned as the third tank adjoining had to be cleaned as well for access via an envelope cut into the steel to pass new materials through into the adjoining tanks for the steel repairs.
Conclusion
Baymarine Services worked closely with the steel repair company and the ships staff to have the tanks ready for completion in dry dock. The Tanks were clean and all the steel in place ready for the dry docking.
