N-KOM Completes MMPL Merlin Repair Project

Nakilat-Keppel Offshore & Marine (N-KOM) has completed general repairs for Stanford Marine’s 2,996 dwt Platform Supply Vessel MMPL Merlin.

During the repair period, in-situ chemical cleaning of the bow thruster motors was carried out at the shipyard. The motor insulation valves achieve multifold increase in efficiency following the cleaning process, from 12MΩ to 2000MΩ.

The vessel was delivered at the end of the repair period to the satisfaction of the client.

Nakilat-Keppel Offshore & Marine (N-KOM) was formed from the landmark partnership between two global leaders in their respective industries – Qatar Gas Transport Company Ltd (Nakilat) and Keppel Offshore & Marine Ltd (Keppel O&M). N-KOM, Qatar’s premiere shipyard spanning 43 hectares, has been designed for the repair and maintenance of a spectrum of vessels, offshore and onshore structures.
