The Challenge
During transit, the MV Olympius sustained significant hull damage after a rogue container collided with the vessel, breaching its outer shell and compromising structural integrity. Immediate action was required to assess the extent of the damage and execute repairs under strict time and classification constraints to avoid extended downtime.
Our Approach
KAW Engineering mobilised a specialised team of certified welders and rope access technicians to safely access and assess the damaged area. Working under accelerated timelines, the team implemented a coordinated repair strategy, combining detailed inspection, controlled material removal, and precision welding to restore the affected structure while adhering to all class requirements.
The Solution
KAW rapidly repaired major hull damage to the MV Olympius, completing all structural works and testing to class standards. The vessel returned to service safely and on schedule, with minimal disruption to operations.
