On August 18th, “MV Mineral Yangfan” completed all scheduled repair and installation projects successfully at CUD (WEIHAI) SHIPYARD CO., LTD , Ltd. (CUD shipyard) and departured on schedule.
“MV Mineral Yangfan” is a capesize bulk carrier with 206392 DWT, the main repair projects include the installation of shaft generator, frequency conversion cabinet, isolation transformer and other equipments and structural modification of the tail shaft area, etc.. This project covers multiple key areas such as hull, machinery, electricity and coating with a complicated engineering structure and a very tight repair schedule.
After receiving the conversion project for this ship, CUD shipyard attached great importance to it. Faced with the challenge of undertaking the conversion project of such shaft power generation system installation for the first time, the production department quickly set up a management project team, contacted with the resident shipowner proactively, organized and held multiple preparation meetings, reviewed the operation process, and consolidated the construction plan, which laid a good foundation for the smooth implementation of the conversion project.
During the process of ship conversion work, our project team closely focused on the production goals of “controlling the docking period, guaranteeing the quality, and grabbing the delivery date”, promptly held the safety production planning meeting with all department, and the construction team, strengthened the production and safety on-site control elements, and meticulously deployed the important nodes of the production tasks. During the installation of the shaft power generation system of “MV Mineral Yangfan”, the on-site managers closely monitored the production schedule, continuously optimized the construction process, clarified each construction node, reasonably arranged the construction at night, and strictly carried out construction disclosure and safety control.
In the end, MV Mineral Yangfan set sail with a refreshed appearance, which not only accumulated valuable experience of the installation of shaft power generation system for CUD shipyard, but also laid a solid foundation for CUD shipyard to undertake the energy-saving device projects of other ship in the future.
