Pride of Canterbury, Dunkirk Dry Dock

http://www.jmslincoln.com/Pride%20of%20Canterbury.html JMS transforms the Pride of Canterbury's two car decks in full scale refurbishment with a robust roro paint deck system. • Damen Shipyard Dunkirk • Works completed in 16 days • 7,450sqm captive blasted to SA2.5 • 7,450sqm painted with a four-coat system to two car decks. • Weather Deck works completed whilst exposed to the elements. • All works signed off by an independent paint inspector. Brief: When one of Europe’s leading ferry operator needed to undergo exterior makeovers to their car decks to an extremely short turnaround, JMS was the obvious choice. The work took place in Damen’s shipyard in Dunkirk over a period of 16 days and was covering 7450sqm over a 16 day stint in dock. JMS spent considerable effort cost engineering the project from an early stage whilst working closely with P&O Ferries and PPG to ensure that the budget was adhered to using innovative solutions and all within the agreed cost whilst having a robust solution for the decks. Outcome: The rapid production of our preparation coupled with the experienced installation of high-quality paint meant the project could be turned around in a short timeframe. JMS provided skilled dedicated tradesmen & experienced on-site project managers that could find solutions to any arising issues. Superior project management is part of JMS company ethos. For this project, the groundwork started early, working closely with our client and suppliers to ensure detailed planning took place early on to get an accurate scope of the work needed across the two ships and how each one’s needs differed. The large-scale refurbishment across the two ships had not been without its challenges, with January being quite an unpredictable month of weather in Holland and weather ranging in and out of specification from rain to freezing temperatures. Works had to be efficient and co-ordinated to ensure the weather caused minimal downtime - It also helps bringing our jet surface dryer when it does rain! This amazing transformation of the vessel in such a short time was the result of a collaborative working relationship between JMS and P&O Ferries aided by experience applicators and unique machinery.
