The repair of the motor ship “Vilkovo” has already begun

Ukrainian Danube Shipping Company (UDS) has already started some works on the repair of dry cargo ship “Vilkovo”.

UDS has started repairing the motor ship “Vilkovo”. In the future, the company plans to completely restore the “river-sea” fleet.

In the coming days, the UDS will finally determine the list of repair works for the “Vilkovo” vessel. However, in order not to lose precious time and favorable weather conditions, some works have already started, the UDS press service reports. In particular, in a week, experts cleaned the surface of the first hold and the ship’s hull, applied a layer of soil and started painting.

The repair is planned to be completed already this summer.

Dry cargo ship “Vilkovo” is the fifth ship built to order of UDS at the Portuguese shipyard Viana do Castelo (project R-845, type “Izmail”: a total of 6 ships of the series were built). The vessel is intended for transportation of general, bulk cargoes of various nomenclature, grain and containers.
