Tymor to assess Irish Naval Service vessels
Tymor Marine has received a contract to deliver a vessel mid-life extension survey for the Irish Naval Service, the company announced on 30 October.
Under the contract, Tymor will survey the Irish Navy’s P50 class vessels to assess the condition of their structure, systems, equipment and machinery, and provide a full analysis and report containing independent recommendations for integrity maintenance and upgrade activity.
The survey will include a review of planned maintenance and inspection activity, recommendations for cost-efficient preventative actions and upgrades, an assessment of machinery hours linked to the vessel’s planned mode of operation over the course of its future activities and advice on remedial action, considering the availability and cost of spares and repairs.
The effort will provide evidence of vessel integrity and where possible make an estimation of remaining endurance, highlighting priority sites requiring attention.
