  • The Commercial & Technical Evolution of the Ferry
    THE COMMERCIAL & TECHNICAL EVOLUTION OF THE FERRY INDUSTRY 1948-1987 By William (Bill) Moses M.B.E. A thesis presented to the University of Greenwich in fulfilment of the thesis requirement for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy October 2010 DECLARATION “I certify that this work has not been accepted in substance for any degree, and is not concurrently being submitted for any degree other than that of Doctor of Philosophy being studied at the University of Greenwich. I also declare that this work is the result of my own investigations except where otherwise identified by references and that I have not plagiarised another’s work”. ……………………………………………. William Trevor Moses Date: ………………………………. ……………………………………………… Professor Sarah Palmer Date: ………………………………. ……………………………………………… Professor Alastair Couper Date:……………………………. ii Acknowledgements There are a number of individuals that I am indebted to for their support and encouragement, but before mentioning some by name I would like to acknowledge and indeed dedicate this thesis to my late Mother and Father. Coming from a seafaring tradition it was perhaps no wonder that I would follow but not without hardship on the part of my parents as they struggled to raise the necessary funds for my books and officer cadet uniform. Their confidence and encouragement has since allowed me to achieve a great deal and I am only saddened by the fact that they are not here to share this latest and arguably most prestigious attainment. It is also appropriate to mention the ferry industry, made up on an intrepid band of individuals that I have been proud and privileged to work alongside for as many decades as covered by this thesis.

  • Mv Kaitaki Docking
    MV KAITAKI DOCKING Client Thales Australia Pty Ltd / Interislander Ferries Location Garden Island, NSW, Australia Scope • High Pressure water washing • Mechanical descaling • Ultra-High Pressure water blasting • Dry abrasive blasting • Application of protective coatings by spray and roller Asset Preservation & Rehabilitation When Risk Matters ASMD UPGRADE Project Details The MV Kaitaki is a ROPAX ferry built in 1995. As of 2008, MV Kaitaki is the largest ferry providing the Inter-islander service between the North and South Islands of New Zealand having taken its latest name in 2007. KiwiRail, the operator of the Inter-islander ferries, bought the Kaitaki in 2017. Eptec Marine was commissioned by Thales Australia Pty Ltd to undertake the preparation and preservation works for MV Kaitaki for its 2017 Docking. This was a particularly short docking period, with only 16 days to complete a range of works. Eptec completed High Pressure Washing on all external surfaces and conducted surface preparation works to various areas of the ship. A key aspect of this docking was the application of a silicone coating to the underwater hull, to an area size of over 4,830 sqm. Due to such extensive work over a short period, Eptec had assigned a workforce of over 60 employees to this project. We ran day and night shifts to accommodate for the workload and other trades, whilst ensuring the safety of our employees at every avenue. Eptec delivered the project to a satisfied client whilst managing risk at every level. We aim to keep our employees and the environment safe, every day.
