Recommendation Rectification (Partial )

The propeller to be repaired and dealt with as applicable in accordance with requirements of ABS Rules to satisfaction of the attending Surveyor. Damaged propellers (main and spare) were re-examined by ABS Surveyor at approved propeller's manufacture and repair facility. Propeller's permanent repair fulfilling requirements of ABS Rules has been considered not feasible. Temporary repair of spare propeller - CCS marking FZ0SP00042-1 was carried out and accepted. For further details please refer to ABS report no. RO 1106288. The temporary repaired propeller back installation has been carried out as follows: (1) Pre - mounting and dismantling (blue-fit) of key type fitting propeller and spare shaft was witnessed and all found satisfactory. New key was fabricated in accordance with as built drawing. (2) The propeller back installation including protection against corrosion and securing has been verified and all found satisfactory. (3) The propeller forward end seal including seal sleeve was renewed in accordance with as built drawing and all arrangement found satisfactory. (4) Rope guard was fitted and found in order. (5) Performance of the propulsion system was satisfactory demonstrated at rated speed during vessel sea trials and no excessive vibration was noted. Repair considered as temporary only.
