Project context

The piston change was carried out aboard the vessel in Sydney, involving the access, coordination and heavy-component handling required for large-bore two-stroke machinery.

Work carried out

  • Piston-change work on a large-bore two-stroke main engine
  • Shipboard access and heavy-component handling
  • Work coordinated within the vessel’s machinery space

Piston-change work

The work combined large-engine mechanical experience with the practical demands of carrying out a piston change inside the vessel’s machinery space.
