In the early December, Shanghai Metalock sent one of its salesmen and one engineer to Qingdao Beihai Shipyard at the invitation of Nakashima propeller Co. for the propeller cavitation cut-off job of M/V OCEAN CLARION.
Unfortunately, by the coming strong cold gale, working scaffold was impossible to build. In order to ensure the docking schedule, Matalock attendees communicated with shipyard and arranged two elevators as working platform. Metalock engineer overcame bad influence of cold wind and finished the job with exquisite skill which praised by both Nakashima propeller and Namura shipyard supervisors.
