Posted: 17 November 2004
UMC has secured an order for 22 ship sets of hull aperture blanks from Hyundai Mipo shipyard in Korea. Each set comprises 8 blanks plus ancillary fitting equipment and discharge bungs.
The value of this order is £134,000, which brings the total value of outstanding orders to £390,000. All the vessels are identical 2824 container ships being built for various German owners.
UMC's hull aperture blanks are designed to seal openings below the waterline against ingress of water while hull valves are opened up for inspection or repair. They are designed to take the external pressure loading while bearing on the hull shell, thus no load is placed on what could be a weakened inlet grill. Each blank is individually tailored to match the shape of the hull, ensuring a perfect fit and is neutrally buoyant allowing an easy fit by a single diver.
UK headquartered UMC International provides its services to the Middle East from its UAE branches in Dubai and Fujairah .
