Begin forwarded m=ssage: 20 It was a pleasure to be involved in making these many improvements to Big N, s=e should give you many years of service, please remember that she is a 40 year old vessel and will need a regular service program to keep systems in good operational order. These many months of working on her I understand that Big N is a major transport vessel for the Island. My recommendation would be the have a=20 marine surveyor work up a maintenance program for both daily and long =term maintenance. It would be a good idea to have this marine surv=yor involved now before the vessel leaves our yard so we can review the plan together. =div class="yiv6387808564" id="yiv6387808564yui_3_16_0_1_1442595715203_3=71" dir="Itr"> For long term maintenance, in two years time I would recommend to make additional repairs to the forward hold area bottom plating, as corrosion is present and will have to be monitored. www.subbasedrydock.com EFTA_R1_00102230 EFTA01782424
