The Challenge
The Strategic Tenacity, a maritime vessel with a gross tonnage of 22664 GT and built in 2012, required urgent radio survey and VDR APT services. However, the unprecedented COVID-19 lockdown disrupted traditional service methodologies, making physical attendance impossible. Additionally, the challenge for approval of remote VDR APT by the manufacturer and classification societies was performed by Selene Marine.
The Solution
At Selene Marine, we specialize in high-quality maritime services, including radio surveys, gyro compass adjustments, and VDR APTs. When faced with extraordinary circumstances, we rose to the occasion. Drawing on our expertise in remote service capabilities, we devised a solution that enabled our certified engineers to carry out all essential services remotely. Our team overcame unprecedented challenges during the lockdown to ensure that the Strategic Tenacity remained both compliant and operational. Despite initial hurdles, our innovative approach ensured the vessel’s compliance and operational standards were maintained through the successful execution of Remote VDR APT.
The Results
Our innovative thinking and technical expertise delivered significant results. We successfully completed the radio survey and remote VDR APT within just two days, ensuring the Strategic Tenacity remained fully compliant with international standards. This achievement not only demonstrates the effectiveness of our remote service capabilities, but also underscores our unwavering commitment to customer-centric solutions, even in the face of global challenges.
