Shipyard

• River Pearl flooded heavily in the dock of Shipyard

• Shipyard missed to screw in the bottom plugs of the vessel and to close the ICCP openings during those days.• Vessel was in the “dry dock”

• Water flooded into second vessel cargo hold & engine room with 2,5 meters => delay caused for the vessels to be delivered

• For next vessels: Main engine, shaft generator, gear box & other equipment in the dock / warehouse => water flooded there as well

• Chain reaction: Only one vessel can be equipped at time: Second delayed -> third vessel delayed -> fourth vessel delayed

• Inspection of damage done, drying the equipment, ordering new equipment…many months

Delay of almost 12 months for whole project
