During the repair period, the repair manager made a good schedule and according to this schedule he adjusted the painting order of the hull, hatch cover and cargo hold. The owner gave us great affirmation and support about this schedule. At dry-docking days, the shipyard and the owner met some problems due to the unsuitable spare part and unforeseen situations on intermediate shaft’s caused by original melted lower bush of the bearing.
