CASE STUDY: Pre-docking survey and gearbox, and rudder overhaul
Type of project:

- Carry out a VSD (Variable Speed Drives) condition survey of the vessels Danfoss and ABB Drives.
- Rudder and rudder stock bearing overhaul, including seals.
Customer name: UK Offshore vessel fleet operator
Location: Great Yarmouth/MMS Hull
Project description:
During a routine docking at Great Yarmouth, our MIT team was tasked with uncovering the cause of the vessel’s starboard gearbox housing’s loosening and shearing bolts.
Initial enquiry: MIT (Marine & Industrial Transmissions) asked to attend the offshore support vessel to investigate why the gearbox housing bolts on the vessel’s port side gearbox were shearing and coming loose. The team attended while the ship was alongside in Great Yarmouth and inspected with a borescope, reviewing the condition of the bearings, clutch plates, and gears. This was when we identified the bearing spinning in the housing as the potential root cause for the bolt shearing. Following this attendance, an overhaul of the gearbox and alignment checks on the shaft line was recommended at the next available date.
