NSIC said work on the EMDAD 3 vessel has advanced at International Maritime Industries’ shipyard in Saudi Arabia. The update named IMI, Marcap Management and NSIC’s technical team, but gave no vessel specifications, delivery date, contract value or scope of work.
Grandweld Shipyards has set out its process for propeller shaft straightening and weather calibration, saying the work is needed to keep shafts within classification tolerances and avoid drivetrain wear. The yard said the process uses runout mapping, controlled straightening and final verification, and that its calibration accounts for Arabian Gulf operating conditions.
