Labour intensive
Restricted availability
Cumbersome for rigging
Certified scaffolders are required
High cost of staging, tank ventilation, labour and commercial downtime in shipyards
Compact and easily deployable by two people in under 10 minutes.
Suitable for in-service ballast tank maintenance
(no dry-docking needed)
No certified personnel required, compliant with safety and construction norms
The deployment of services on our managed MR tanker prior docking was very useful in upgrading ballast tank and deck coating conditions, with tremendous cost saving potential in shipyards, if engaged at least one-year prior docking. Paint recoating was of high quality and the Vertomech was very innovative and easy to use and cost effective, compared to conventional scaffoldings.
This was the highlight and excellent value for money!
I look forward to engaging with you in future docking projects.
