MarineShaft cold straightened the propeller shafts belonging to the beautiful 56m-long Italian-built superyacht S/Y Piropo.
The superyacht was in dock at Zancle 757 Yacht Village in Messina, Sicily, for a class-connected call.
The shipyard conducted a run-out test of the two propeller shafts, revealing minor deflection. Subsequently, they contacted MarineShaft for a quotation for the cold straightening of the two stainless steel propeller shafts (Ø146 x 7025mm).
MarineShaft received the order, and the shipyard arranged to transport the two shafts to our workshop facilities in Hirtshals.
Once the shafts arrived at our workshop, MarineShaft inspected them, measured the deflections, and carried out NDT tests. The involved classification society, Rina, approved our repair procedure and work scope.
The job was carried out with no delay and the customer received very rapid and effective responses from MarineShaft.
Zancle 657 Yacht Village Director Rocco Finocchiaro and Technical Chief Gaetano De Salvo visited MarineShaft in connection with this repair.
This was our first repair job for the Zancle 657 Yacht Village shipyard. We are happy to have established a good relationship with them and hope to assist the shipyard with future repair jobs.
