On Saturday, August 13, the cruise ship Enchanted Princess of the shipping company Princess Cruises moored at the cruise terminal at the Wilhelminakade in Rotterdam. The ship with a maximum length of 330 meters can accommodate approximately 3600 passengers plus 1350 final members.
Following the previously conducted pilot on the Hatecke lifeboats of the cruise ship Aida Perla, a rescue boat of the Enchanted Princess followed this weekend.
Also on the lifeboat on board the problems and deficiencies have been noted as problems and deficiencies on board the rescue operations. The bright fades very quickly due to the chalking process of content causing a dull surface which has direct consequences for safety on board. The education of the lifeboats offers no solution, apart from the fact that this has to be performed in a high frequency, the polymers discolor to yellow. This results in a change in color and a decrease in gloss level. The boats can matter.
During the period that the cruise ship was berthed at the Wilhelminakade, a rescue sloop was overhauled in accordance with the Impressed Pro Marine methodology. By means of an extensive inspection in which the technical condition of the lifeboat is determined using our condition score system. It soon became clear that the substrates can be categorized in condition score 4. After an intensive pre-treatment program, it is based on the Impressed Pro Marine Coat protection system. This is the lifeboat reconditioned to condition score 1 to 2. With a tailor-made maintenance program we can then consolidate the technical of the surfaces into condition score 1 to 2. It can be called very positive, in addition to the safety aspect, the luxurious appearance has also been restored.
This second pilot is part of an extensive process in which the aim is to develop an extensive procedure in the near future to ensure the safety of the lifeboats.
