Sand Falcon work scope included: a full HP wash, main propeller blade removal and replacements, Sea tube liner removal and replacement, hull painting, internal and external dredge pipework removals and renewals, alternators removals, structural steelwork, fabrication & welding.

Toby Emerson, UK Docks Ship Manager said: “It was a pleasure to work on this project. 

“My thanks go out to our workforce and subcontract supply chain for delivering the project work scope in a safe and timely manner.

Sean Duncan, UK Docks Ship Manager said- The project went very well, with all works completed within the agreed schedule and, most importantly, safely. 

“It was great to welcome Cemex UK Marine Ltd to UK Docks Marine Services, and I hope we will have the opportunity to work with them again soon.”

Ben Manfield, Cemex Marine Superintendent noted: “A very well executed first docking at UK Docks, especially given the unfamiliarity with the vessel and unexpected additions to the workscope. 

“All works completed to a high standard whilst adhering to the highest levels of safety which Cemex expects from any of its contractors. 

“Congratulations and thanks to all involved.”
