Re: Latest comissioning
oh and I just got a phone call from the ship owner that the insulation guys drilled a hole in an ammonia pipe...
this is still a mystery to me, if you are working with drilling holes in 0.5mm steel, how do you manage to drill a hole in a 4.5mm black steel pipe???
it has happened to me twice in two months and I am still baffled

same thing happened in las palmas, the guy drilled a hole in the main return line and taped over it with aluminum tape. luckily I had just started the system and pulled down the pressure, but it took me 6 hours to get the line closed of (23 plate freezers) and the pressure down so it could be welded

I'm Norwegian, the owner is Norwegian, and while I was on the plane back home I got a call from the ship owner Originally Posted by Føroyar

Also the crew on board knew what to do.
Førøyar guy, probably, all the guys that made the problem were guys from the feroe islands
