Grandweld Shipyards recently completed a significant repair and maintenance project at Khalid Port. The team worked on a 220-meter container ship, finishing all tasks in just seven days. Our Ship Repair Division performed all work while the vessel stayed afloat, which minimised its downtime significantly.

Rapid Execution and Technical Scope

Our team handled a variety of technical tasks during these seven days. We built and installed new platforms and access gangways to improve safety on board. Our welders also completed several deck fittings. These upgrades help the crew move safely and efficiently during operations.

The project involved heavy-duty maintenance on the vessel’s exterior. We used hydro blasting to clean the hatch covers and applied new marine paint. This protects the steel from salt and corrosion. Inside the ship, our technicians overhauled the engine room blowers, ensuring the cooling and ventilation systems operate at peak performance.

Specialised Modifications and Interior Upgrades

The repair work included modifications to the ship’s cargo areas and navigation bridge. Our team adjusted ladders and piping systems inside the cargo tanks, improving access for inspections and assisting with fluid management. We also repaired parts of the ship’s funnel.

To support the bridge crew, we installed new blinds and curtains in the wheelhouse. This allows the officers to navigate more comfortably by controlling light and heat. Every task met strict quality and safety standards. We coordinated closely with port authorities to ensure safety while the port remained active.
