So nice to see a post about a shipyard and actual vessels. I have a history of shipping. A long long time ago, I lived on a boat, when I was a kid, before school took me hostage, so to speak 😅
Darn, 4 days of measuring the paint thickness. Is this a common job? For all vessels being build/painted? I would think the paint is sprayed? When measure at more or less random spots, assuming the painter knows what he/she is doing, it'll be good enough? You happen to know the reasons why they do it like you had to do it? 4 Days: not only boring, but must have been tiering as well.
Great to read the peeps you work with are so kind and friendly. Always love it when a team is like that, especially when newcomers have to work with them. Looking forward to what is next at the shipyard?
In the meantime, NJOY the upcoming weekend as much as possible 🙂
Truth be told, I don't know if there is another method to measure the thickness of the paint, but yes, this method is exhausting.Maybe they keep doing it like this because the boss is stingy 🤣. In this case, they didn't use spray paint because in previous projects they realized that the product loss margin is considerable (even though the finish is much better).
I'm a bit scared of what might happen next week hahaha, but it's all part of the process.
Owww Really? They did the paint and roller thingy? Uhm
Well NJOY the few free days then in anticipation of what is coming to you next 🙂
