Hoegh benefits from LNG expertise of Damen Shiprepair Brest
Hoegh has a long standing relationship with Damen Shiprepair Brest, dating back to 2008, the yard’s expertise with LNG vessels perfectly matching their requirements. Over the years, no fewer than eight Hoegh vessels have docked in Brest for various works.
Most recently, the ‘Arctic Lady’ and ‘Arctic Princess’ have been at the yard for scheduled maintenance works. The 288 x 49 metre LNG tankers both underwent similar scopes of work. ‘Arctic Lady’ was first to arrive and was in the yard between 25 July 2015 and 17th August 2015. She was followed by ‘Arctic Princess’ docked in Brest between 16 October and 7 November.
In addition to scheduled maintenance, both vessels underwent a complete Panama upgrade, receiving additional bollards both fore and aft. The most challenging part of the work saw the vessels vertical and bottom sides – some 20,000 m2 each – ready for complete hull repainting.
Additionally, both vessels had their cargo and spray pumps, valves, thrusters and TAs overhauled. Their propellers were removed for inspection and the main turbines, main condenser and cargo tanks were also inspected. All on board cranes were tested and the steering bearings renewed.
“It was a pleasure to welcome Hoegh back to Damen Shiprepair Brest with ‘Arctic Lady’ and ‘Arctic Princess’ – both previous visitors to our yard. Both projects passed off successfully, with ‘Arctic Lady’ leaving the yard precisely on schedule and ‘Arctic Princess’ two days ahead of schedule,” said the responsible project manager at Damen Shiprepair Brest.
