Recently, Huazi Energy’s outfitting dock successfully launched five ships within three days, not only showcasing the company’s outstanding ship repair capabilities but also earning high recognition and unanimous praise from multiple shipowners and their on-site representatives.
MV “Guanghui”
The vessel entered the yard on May 23, with main projects including the renewal of the cargo hold inner bottom plates, sandblasting and painting of the cargo holds, removal of double-layer hatch covers, and stern bearing repairs. Before docking, the project management team planned ahead based on known repair items and allocated labor efficiently to tackle critical tasks. Anticipating rainy weather that could delay sandblasting and painting, the team implemented a “two-shift” system to race against time. For the inner bottom plate renewal, partial multi-point replacements were adopted to prevent structural stress-induced deformation from disassembly.
Additionally, the stern shaft removal and the post-painting reinstallation of hatch covers were key factors affecting the departure schedule. After cross-departmental evaluations, the team confirmed a two-day dry-dock window for the “Guanghui” to complete stern shaft reinstallation and the lifting and positioning of 32 folding and intermediate hatch covers—significantly shortening the overall construction time and ensuring readiness for departure.
MV “Huali”
The vessel arrived on May 25. To meet the departure deadline, the project team proactively planned construction sequences, prioritizing auxiliary engine and piping system repairs.
During the oil motor replacement by external contractors, yard staff remained on-site, collaborating closely with the ship’s crew to confirm repair details and clarify schedules, alleviating concerns over timelines.
MV “Huanyu”
Docked on May 28, its main project involved full painting of the crane tower, cylinder, and boom. Given the owner’s emphasis on crane work, the production team conducted specialized quality training. Supervisors directed operations on-site, utilizing aerial platforms and suspended cages for high-altitude work. With seamless coordination between the project team and the ship’s crew, the vessel departed smoothly, marking a successful repair.
MV “Beijing”
Arriving on June 10 amid rainy season challenges, the cargo hold sandblasting and painting were meticulously scheduled. Daily meetings ensured progress tracking, and when delayed spare parts threatened timelines, the team adjusted workflows to minimize disruptions.
MV “Nanlian 16”
Entering the yard on May 31, its key tasks included gearbox and stern shaft seal replacements. Pre-repair planning involved detailed discussions with the owner. Later, a deck fuel pipe modification was added; through rigorous safety and quality coordination, the vessel departed a day ahead of schedule.
Amid fierce market competition, Huazi Energy’s ship repair business thrives like “an eagle soaring or fish gliding,” laying a robust foundation for its distinctive brand.
