We had the five year old Damen tug, Waimata, up on the hard last week for her first docking in New Zealand. Heron Ship Repairs carried out the five year services on her Rolls Royce drive units and the cathodic system. We undertook several small general engineering tasks, and the haul out work was completed with a full topsides coat in blue, and a complete underwater antifoul paint system applied below the waterline. The spruced up Waimata was slipped back into the tide ready to go back to her chores.
