Shipment - June 2006

In the beginning of June another transport has left Stocznia WISŁA - an equipped deckhouse and funnel, together with partly equipped shipsection.

This time, because of technological reasons, the deckhouse was loaded over the bow of the pontoon in such a way that it's front bulkhead was parallel to the side of the pontoon.  It is a harder method of loading as compared with loading over the side of the pontoon - loading over the bow causes greater problems with ballasting the pontoon during sliding of the load.
As the ballasting requires removing of greater amounts of ballast water, the loading operation had to be stopped every few meters to allow trimming of pontoon.

In spite of that the loading operation was very smooth, first time since long, long ago performed at favourable weather conditions.

In Stocznia WISŁA we are now continuing work on next constructions for J. J. Sietas KG Shipyard, as well as for Aker Finnyards and Gdańsk Shiprepair Yard.
Also the works on assembly of the new gantry crane of the Shipsection Production Department have gained speed.

This time the loading operation was luckily very smooth - as we say "everything went downhill!"
