Nostalgia W
elcome to yet another Nostalgia article! We hope you enjoy the journey into the past and that it motivates you to recall your experiences and share them amongst your colleagues in order for them to live on. In this edition, we will start off with the engine room and take a look at some photos of our team of technical superintendents on board during dry dock repairs back in the day. Then we will take a look at one of our previous vessels in the Company’s fleet, which justifies the motto “impossible is nothing”.
So let’s start off with some photos taken during 2007. These are of the dry dock/ conversion to double hull carried out on board the m/t CE-Ulsan at Shekou, China. Shown right are superintendent engineers, Mr. Michalis Maritsas and Mr. Christos Kartsonas, in their early years with the Company on the morning service boat, excited to be participating in the dry dock works of the CE-Ulsan.
The CE-Ulsan was an aframax tanker, originally 115k deadweight, built in Hyundai Heavy Industries, Korea in 1990. She was one of the largest aframaxes of her era. She joined our fleet in 2004 and was sold in 2012. In the meantime, she was converted to a double-hull tanker with a reduced deadweight of 107k.
They may look like the ghostbusters but in fact, they are the "repair-busters", our team of superintendents, Mr. Yannis Fassoulis (ex super/nt eng), Mr. Christos Kartsonas (super/nt eng), Mr. Christos Chatzigiaksoglou (super/nt eng) and Mr. Paul Birleanu (super/nt eng).
