Overview

The client contacted CTS to oversee the re-activation of their vessel. CTS was tasked with ensuring that the vessel’s technical compliance aligned with the port authority’s regulations and allowed for safe navigation. The vessel had been out of service for over a year, and neither the main engine nor any of the four
generators were running. It was no surprise that the vessel required an extensive amount of repair work.

Result

CTS oversaw the yard’s scope and provided the client daily reports on the repair process. CTS also brought in a team of specialists to resolve the electrical issues and fully repair the main engine and generators. Despite the significant amount of work required, with strong communication and thorough planning, CTS was able to deliver the project on schedule.

Overview

CTS was approached by the vessel owners to replace a damaged Yanmar 6EY22W engine onboard one of their bulk carriers. CTS, with their Yanmar specialist (twelve years of experience), compiled a six-man team to ensure that the overhaul went smoothly. The team was met with a challenge when it came to getting the new engine inside the engine room as the skylight was small, and the engine itself was over the safe working load limit of the vessel’s crane. There were also no lifting points or standard procedure to lift the engine. However, after careful planning, the team was able to come up with a tailor-made solution.

Result

The job was complicated by the limited space of the engine room; however, the CTS service team was able to adapt and worked efficiently to complete the overhaul. The scope of work was completed within seven days. The client appreciated CTS’s professional and thorough approach and was satisfied with the team’s quality work.

Overview

Columbia Cruise Services reached out to CTS to undertake various
projects on-board their ship, the Marella Dream, in preparation
for its 7th Class Renewal Survey. CTS assembled a team of 59
technicians with a wide range of specializations to fulfill the large
scope of projects over the course of 2 months. Our experience in
major turnkey EPC projects enabled us to implement a strategy to
complete the full extent of work on time while meeting our high
standard for quality.

Result

Due to the age of the ship, there was a significant amount of steelwork required. Additionally, since numerous modifications had been carried out over the lifetime of the vessel, the drawings provided were no longer accurate. Fortunately, our team conducted a pre-evaluation to get a sense of these potential obstacles early on.

CTS worked closely with the owners to avoid any delays and was able to complete the project safely and on schedule. Columbia Cruise Services was impressed by our team’s expertise and requested for CTS to assist with future projects.

Overview

CTS was contacted by a shipping and maritime group to fabricate and install a BWT system for one of their container ships. A 9 person team of skilled fitters and electricians were dispatched to carry out the piping installations and cabling work on board during the vessel’s voyage to prevent downtime. A 3-D scan was taken of the space allocated to the BWT system and a model was prepared to evaluate the current layout of the area in order to design the BWTS. The pipes were prefabricated, and hot dip galvanized as a longlasting, cost-effective solution to help prevent corrosion.

Result

The CTS team finished the scope of works over the span of 25 days, all work was executed during the vessel’s route and completed without disrupting the journey. With regard to the intricate nature of the project, the client acknowledged CTS’s expertise and ability to provide practical solutions.

Overview

A highly skilled team of 38 specialists were selected to complete a series of projects for Columbia Cruise Services’ passenger vessel. Columbia Cruise Services had a wide range of work requests, therefore CTS prepared an extensive strategy in order to complete all the project tasks on time and to ensure that everything suited their needs. The team consisted of naval architects, class approved welders, electricians and tank cleaners. The CTS team spent a total of 23 days on board the dry-docked ship.

Project Brief

Serco, an international service company, contracted CTS Offshore and Marine Limited to perform complete upgradation of their Machinery Control & Monitoring System.

CTS conducted a thorough review of the vessels existing system and were able to provide client with recommendation of PRAXIS system, which not only was a reliable system but also in-line with the client fleet.

Results

The project was concluded safely despite challenges of an erratic functional system without proper availability of drawings with the vessel. We were able to also custom built the speed sensors for the client which makers were unable to give viable solutions. The work had to be carried out around the strict schedule of the tug’s duties with minimal downtime.
