RBD ESPERANZA Undergoes Engine Repair at CIC Lixin Shipyard

The container vessel RBD ESPERANZA, owned by a German Shipping company Hinsch Reederei arrived at CIC Lixin Shipyard for repair in late March, 2013. Namely, the vessel’s crew detected problems on the main engine while unloading cargoes at a port in Japan.

The main engine was out of order and the vessel was not able to sail, therefore the ship owner sent an inquiry to CIC-Shipyards for necessary repairs. Upon receiving a notification of acceptance, the vessel, measuring an overall length of 129.58 m and moulded breadth of 20.6 m, was towed to CIC Lixin Shipyard for repair.

CIC Lixin Shipyard having appointed the ship repair manager, the supervisor and a team of workers, had the condition of the vessel’s main engine inspected once the vessel arrived at the yard.

During the repair period, the ship owner added some miscellaneous repair items such as steel renewal and motor maintenance, etc. The repair work of the vessel was completed successfully and she departed from the shipyard two weeks ago. The ship owner was satisfied with the high quality and good service of the yard, and promised to award another two vessels for repairĀ  to CIC Lixin Shipyard in the second half of this year.
