### Project summary

NGP was contracted to fully recoat 10 box coolers for the vessel *Firda Eir* during its conversion from PSV to wellboat. The scope included surface preparation, mechanical adjustments, coating, and final verification at Norse Shipyard in Turkey.

## How we worked

We began with HP washing and mechanical scraping, followed by full sandblasting with Garnet Mesh 30/60. Each cooler was then pressure tested, and several required plugging or re-piping. Two coolers also needed glued tube supports due to vibration risk. The coating was applied using a flooding method with Säkatonit Extra AR-F in two layers, with 24 hours of curing between each coat. Flanges were grounded and cleaned before reinstallation.

## Results

All coolers were completed and coated within the agreed timeframe. Some flanges required final touch-up due to airborne dust during curing, which we resolved after demobilisation. Despite challenges with the open worksite, the project was delivered to a high standard and met client expectations.

## What we used

- Säkatonit Extra AR-F (820 kg)
- Garnet Mesh 30/60 (2000 kg)
- HP washer, 300 bar

## Reflections

This was a complex and hands-on project combining technical precision with onsite adjustments. Limited paint environment and unexpected field conditions were handled effectively, and we’ve since improved our internal QC routines. A solid delivery backed by a strong collaboration between NGP and the yard.
