Captain’s Log

Star of the Quarter

Dear Reader, With this our second edition of MPL SHIPYARD NEWS, we’d like to share our background with you. Maritime Preservation Limited senior management has just celebrated its 26th year working together as a ship repair team. We started out originally in 1985 as ‘riding crews’ refurbishing large sections of passenger ships while underway. For over nine years we travelled extensively while juggling the conflicting priorities of producing high quality work to tight schedules with absolutely no compromising of safety considerations. Only war ships are more complex than passenger ships so this experience provided us with a great diversity of challenges and permitted us to gain invaluable experience in every relevant aspect of ship repair. This vast depth of experience ensures that we have the expertise to deliver on our promise to “Exceed our Customers’ Expectations,” by delivering quality results “On Time and On Budget. From Bridge to Bilge.” The next time your ship requires routine maintenance or major refurbishment you can be confident that Maritime Preservation will provide you with exceptional value for your hard earned money. Smooth Sailing!

Mike Burke Mike Burke Executive Chairman Maritime Preservation Limited

Derek Williams, Maritime Preservation Limited, Vice President of Operations started his career in the early 80’s working in the offshore oil and gas industry as a welder and fabricator. In 1989 eager to see more of the world, Williams joined a cruise line where he learned the ‘ropes’ of ship repair, as a leading contributor to a ‘riding crew’ of repair specialist renovating, fabricating and maintaining every major component of a working ship. After nearly six years at sea, he returned to his beloved Trinidad and promptly joined Maritime Preservation as a Project Manager of a major project to refurbish and convert a 300 foot research vessel into a passenger ship, certified by ABS and USCG. Never satisfied with the status quo, William’s became Production Manager and turned his now seasoned team of ship repair professionals to the task of becoming one of the region leading commercial ship yards. Over the past 22 years Williams has tackled every imaginable ship repair task and as Vice President of Operations he utilizes his vast knowledge and experience to ensure that every customer of Maritime Preservation receives the best value in the region.

“BEQUIA FERRY I” (built 1972) the 165 foot passenger ferry arrived after complaining about excessive drive shaft vibrations. The ship propulsion uses a Variable Pitch Four bladed propeller driven by an eight inch diameter shaft. Upon inspection it was found that the propeller shaft had worn all the way through the Babbitt bearing, sleeve and had cut a grove into the stern tube. All parts were disassembled for repair and the shaft was machined. A new bearing sleeve was manufactured for a new babbit bearing which was cast and machined. The new stern tube sleeve with bearing was fitted into the stern tube which was repaired with Chockfast® Grout. A Stern Tube Oil Seal had to be manufactured from bronze plating, as spares were not readily available. All components were subsequently reassembled and successfully tested.
