Upon mobilizing a flyaway dive spread and dive team, the PM Errol Gritten performed the complex mathematics involved in calculating the mass loss of the damage to restore hydrodynamic balance. Phoenix divers then worked over eight days cropping the blades and balancing the propeller in extremely poor visibility with lots of nearby vessel traffic.

After completion, the vessel was cleared by the US Coast Guard and departed port, while the cropped sections of the propellor were returned to the client so a permanent repair could be made in dry dock.

Commenting on the project, David Lamon, Area Manager for Davie, FL, stated, “Phoenix offers a full range of capabilities and equipment to provide quality, class approved repairs to commercial ships.” He continued, “Our teams of highly qualified and experienced personnel are able to provide services 24/7 to aid our clients in avoiding critical downtime.”
