Our field of expertise
Five-Year survey Stena Britannica
The Stena Britannica is a RoPax cruiseferry operating between Harwich (UK) and Hoek van Holland (NL), transporting trucks, trailers and passengers across the North Sea.
During its scheduled five-year class survey, the vessel entered EDR Antwerp Shipyard. Saltwater Engineering was brought in to execute the lightweight check as part of the survey scope.
Efficient execution under time pressure
Due to the tight drydock schedule, the lightweight check was performed immediately after refloating. This required a flexible and responsive approach from our team.
Our surveyors were mobilized on short notice and carried out:
- Draught readings
- Tank soundings
- Onboard measurements
All data was collected and processed within the available time window, ensuring reliable results without impacting the overall planning of the yard period.
Supporting ferry and passenger vessel operators
This project highlights Saltwater Engineering’s experience in supporting ferry operators during class surveys and shipyard periods.
We regularly perform surveys and stability-related work on:
- Ferries and Ro-Pax vessels
- Offshore vessels
- Commercial ships
