Repair in Ceuta to be completed this week

The repair of the "Manisa Camilla" in Ceuta went ahead during the recent days. The ship had suffered a large hole in the hull, and the bow bulb also had suffered minor damage that will be repaired when the ship goes into dry dock in a matter of six months. The naval repairs company of Los Barrios was hired by the shipowner company to carry out the repairs. The damaged steel plates were removed and stored aboard the ship. Then the interior structure with the frames have been reconstructed. The last step was to weld the new steel plates onto the hull. The Maritime Captaincy anticipated that the repair work would be completed this week and the ship, loaded with cement, may continue its voyage to Denmark, where it will deliver the cargo. The repair was completed on Aug 28. The ship left the port at 7 p.m. and headed to Aarhus, ETA Sep 5.
