The vessel is dry-docking in Shanghaiguan shipyard. The schedule is dalayed because of the broken bolt. There are too much uncertainty and also a big challenge for DMTech team.

DMTech Team checking the site and discussing for technical process.The team carry out the overhauling with reasonable and safe technical process, portable site machining, special welding material.

The broken bolt pulled out safely in one day and did not destroy the screws in the engine block.

The management company and shipowner give high praise to the professional team of DMTech, daring to face challenge and take on the tough problem.
