Keeping the ship safe for voyage is
not only about keeping the engine well maintained. Some people perceive
that a sound engine serves everything. This is not true because a ship,
unlike a car or any other road vehicle has to travel on the most
untrusted path which is water. Gigantic ships have sunken and the
Titanic is a fair example of it. Although its reason of sinking was not
of a leak, it had struck an iceberg which blew apart its body and
created gashes which tore the ship apart.
But the horrible fate of the Titanic should be taken as an example and it must be ensured that no ship of today should suffer the same. Now we have the sonar sensors which guide the crew about how close they are to something that will bump into the ship. It has now managed to avoid collision and the auto pilot mode in most of the highly advanced ships also manages to keep the sailors safe.
The biggest threats of leaks in today’s ships are the hatch covers. Because the hatch covers are used too much, it makes them become weak and the rough sea air plays an active part to speed up the weakening process. With the hatch cover ultrasonic tightness testing it can be figured out if the leakage has become more than tolerable or not.
It is no news that maintaining even a small boat is more expensive than maintaining a luxury car. The cost can easily dry up anyone’s wallet and that is what keeps the owners from delaying the repairs. But once it is evident that the damage has gone too far, it is important to stop taking risks and call in the repair team. With the help of the instrument, mark all the damaged areas so that the repair team would not waste time in locating the areas again. This would only save you money.
Since your boat is your prized possession, do not ever compromise on its health. Even when the repair team hands it back to you after the repair works, conduct a tightness of hatch with ultrasound again. If you get the okay signal on your device then free yourself of the tensions. But if the same result occurs, first of all check if the repairs are really done in the way as agreed. If there would be anything fishy done with your boat, you can catch them for the act and ask them to apply the correct repairs without paying extra.
