IIMS has once again gained the favor of a renowned shipowner from the Middle East. Under IMS’s supervision and guidance, the first chemical tanker successfully completed a tank lining upgrade for all 31 cargo tanks at Yiu Lian Dockyards (Shenzhen) Limited. Due to IMS’s outstanding on-site control during the project, the shipowner has decided to entrust IMS with upcoming dry docking (DD) projects for two chemical tankers starting in July, which will include hull treatment supervision and partial refurbishment supervision of the cargo tank coatings.

Sandblasting and paint upgrade for all cargo holds of the two bulk carriers, Amazon and Artemis I, have been successfully completed within a total repair period of 28 days. This achievement received high praise from Mr. Roland Ledger, the Technical General Manager of European shipowner Transocean Maritime Agencies.
