Notes;
19th December 2018; Loading to ship expected on 22nd January. The main reason for the issue is port delays.
Vessel was delayed in Piraeus due to labour and tugboat strikes.
Vessel was delayed further in Zeebrugge due to other vessel movements and heavy workload.
I’m still trying to reach someone who can repair the gelcoat scratch.
18th December 2018; Surveyor reports
The wind was fairly strong with around 0.5m of chop on the water and so the yacht was pitching around quite heavily at times.
When lifted, grazes in the gel were noted at the aft end of the starboard topside and forward of the forward sling position, consistent with contact with the quay wall. Please see photographs of these attached. There was also glue residue on the port aft corner of the transom, which was deemed pre-delivery.
I did note that while the yacht was moored alongside the crew were not continuously monitoring the fenders, which could fall between the corrugations of the quay wall while hanging vertically and so there was some assistance required from the shore at times, lifting fenders into position and fending off the yacht against the wall. Ben also had to advise them to raise the fenders, which were too low on arrival and suggested it may worthwhile to advise skippers to consider hanging fenders longitudinally when coming alongside 34 berth in the future.
Best regards,
Richard
