INTAKE / SEA CHEST
Sea-chest blanking and valve operation
Port and starboard sea chests were secured through a blanking method adapted to the actual access conditions.
01 / REQUIREMENT
Field challenge
On a vessel with 14 metres draft, the receiving circuit was farther aft and less accessible than expected.
02 / METHOD
Applied approach
- 01
Actual access to both sea chests was checked.
- 02
Two methods were evaluated against the grid structure.
- 03
Full-grid blanking was selected because of restricted access.
- 04
Three main circuit valves were replaced during a six-hour blackout.
03 / OUTCOME
Customer outcome
The access constraint did not stop the operation; the method was adapted and three valves were safely replaced within the window.
