🚢 M/V Barakat - Undocking Tomorrow!
Over the past few weeks, our team at Gama Ship Repair has been executing a full-scale repair and restoration program on the livestock carrier M/V Barakat bringing her from heavily fouled and aged… to clean, revived, and ready for service again.
Here’s a brief of what went into this drydock:
🔹 Complete Hydroblasting
Removal of multiple layers of fouling, rust, and old coating and preparing the hull and deck for a fresh, long-life system.
🔹 4-Coat Painting System
Application of a full 4-coat protective system across the hull and deck:
1️⃣ Surface-tolerant primer
2️⃣ High-build epoxy
3️⃣ Intermediate protective coat
4️⃣ Final antifouling topcoat
Ensuring corrosion protection, better hydrodynamics, and durability for the coming years.
🔹 50 Tons of Steel Renewal
Major steel replacement on the hull, decks, and structural members, all executed after UT gauging and in full compliance with Class requirements.
🔹 Valve Overhauling & Pipe Repairs
Critical valves and pipelines across deck and engine room were dismantled, overhauled, calibrated, tested, and reinstated.
🔹 Survey Jobs (Class & Statutory)
Thickness gauging, hull structural surveys, piping inspections, sea chest inspections, propeller/tail-shaft checks, hatch integrity checks, anode renewal, and all other Class-mandated scope.
🔹 Miscellaneous Drydock Works
– Anchor & chain calibration
– Sea-chest cleaning & servicing
– General outfitting repairs
– Mechanical support & fabrication
All of this was completed within a tight drydock window, thanks to the coordination and hard work of our production teams, supervisors, and onboard crew.
Excited to undock her tomorrow and hand her back to the owners in top shape.
