Comfortable berths and VHF.
A quick visit on Wednesday afternoon was made, to catch up with the ‘team’ to see how work is progressing. First job was to chat with Jon & Sue of Estuary Vessel Management, who have been making alterations to the berths, moving the anchor windlass, and othe works. The aft cabin is finished and nowContinue reading “Comfortable berths and VHF.”
Sindur’s year and what’s to come!

A quick trip
Sindur was launched in December and a very quick sea trial took place, to confirm that the engines were working correctly after the injector pumps and injectors were reconditioned. A full service of the engines also took place and the heat exchangers were removed and cleaned. The engines ran fine but are still smoking. IContinue reading “A quick trip”
