Bulkcarrier docked in Curacao for repair of bottom damage

On Nov 2, 2018, at 4.15 p.m. the "Mana" went as the first vessel into the new C-Dry Dock at the Damen Ship Repair Yard in Curacao with the assistance of KTK tugs. The bulkcarrier previously had suffered severe bottom damage in a contact with a floating object. The vessel had to wait for some time for the floating C-dock to be operational. The reason for waiting so long was the fact that repairs will take several months, and other docks were not available for such a long period. Approximately, up to 800 tons of steel was to be replaced in the vessel. The hull damage measured from the bow, all the way to the ER. Owners have reportedly appointed a Columbian surveyor from MTS Brazil. The bulkcarrier left Curacao on April 17, 2019, and headed to Santana, where it arrived on April 23 at 12.45 p.m. It dropped anchor in pos. 00° 3.82' S 051° 6.59' W.
