To receive our NEWSLETTER click here May 31, 2004 THE ARCTIC DEPARTS LES MÉCHINS After roughly two weeks of general maintenance, including inspections, piping and mechanical repairs, sandblasting and painting, the FEDNAV-owned, ANGLO EASTERN-managed, ice class O.B.O. Arctic, has departed the VERREAULT dry dock. This dry-docking marks the 4th consecutive visit by the Arctic to VERREAULT NAVIGATION.
THE ALGOPORT RETURNS TO VERREAULT NAVIGATION FOR EMERGENCY REPAIRS Immediately following the departure of the Arctic, the dry dock is once again occupied by the SEAWAY MARINE TRANSPORT, self-unloader, Algoport. Having recently completed a dry-docking for regular maintenance in March, the Algoport has since returned to VERREAULT NAVIGATION following recent damages which were incurred while transiting the western coast of Newfoundland. Damages to the vessel were isolated to double bottom tanks on the starboard side towards the stern. Upon inspection, it was determined that the vessel should return to dry dock for repairs prior to completing any previously scheduled runs. In keeping with the highly efficient emergency repairs performed on another vessel earlier in the year, VERREAULT NAVIGATION will make every effort to deliver the vessel in as short a time frame as possible. A 24 hour a day, 7 day a week schedule will be maintained in order to minimise any further delays to an already occupied schedule of cargoes. As reported previously, other vessels slated for dry dock time in the coming months include EASTERN CANADA TOWING tug, Pointe-Sept-Îles, COGÉMA's Georges-Alexandre-Lebel and three SOCIÉTÉ DES TRAVERSIERS DU QUÉBEC ferries.
