New York Shipyard Corp.
Completes Drydocking
Of Two PRMMI Ships
New York Shipyard Corporation
has announced that it has completed
the scheduled drydocking and con-
tinued life extension program of two
vessels managed by Puerto Rico
Marine Management (PRMMI).
The two ships, Humacao and
Guyana, each required about 100
tons of steel renewals. The bulk of
the steel work was concentrated in
the machinery spaces, which in-
cluded the Ml tanks, tank tops in
number one double bottoms and
shaft alley. Other areas where
steel renewal took place were on
the container guides and various
hatch cover repairs.
Also included in the drydocking
were sea valve and boiler repairs,
sandblasting and hull coating. The
drydocking took about eight weeks to
complete.
Another contract which New York
Shipyard is presently carrying out is
the drydocking of the U.S. Navy frig-
ate USS Beary, for Phillyship. The
shipyard will also perform such ma-
jor hull items as shaft removal and
installation of a new Prairie Air Sys-
tem; removal of the rudder and the
rudder pintle for inspection; blast-
ing and coating the hull; overhaul-
ing the sea vales and sea chests; and
modifying the A Triple F Fire Fight-
ing System.
