In November 2009, Tug Boat “SULTAN HABEEB” docked on the slipway of the Yemen Gulf of Aden Ports Corporation, with the assistance of the slipway team, we performed a scheduled, in-depth inspection of the Rolls-Royce Azimuth Stern Drive system and carried out all dock work (Hull cleaning, shot blasting, hull painting, cathodic protection replacing, maintaining of: anchor system with anchor chain, sea chest boxes with valves, cooling sea box and mooring fenders system). All work was carried out under our supervision and in the presence of a Rolls-Royce representative (the manufacturer of the propulsion and steering system ASD), as well as the owner representative (Mr. Mohmoud Hassan Jamea, Maintenance Superintendent). Certain system components were replaced as per the manufacturer’s instructions and following strict standards, ensuring the safety and performance of the propulsion system.
The project involved careful assessment and timely replacement of critical components to maintain peak performance. Adhering to rigorous classification guidelines, the work ensured that the drive system was fully optimized for safety and efficiency, thereby minimizing the risk of operational downtime and maximizing vessel reliability.
The primary challenge with “SULTAN HABEEB” was the precise diagnosis of wear in its complex Rolls-Royce Azimuth Stern Drive system. This required specialized tools and technical expertise to assess and replace critical components without disrupting ongoing operations. Additionally, scheduling repairs in a busy port environment and managing the logistics of sourcing high-quality replacement parts on a tight schedule added further operational pressure to the project.
