Propeller for Norwegian ship
DS ”Hestmanden” protected with
WENCON Coating
The Danish company Marineshaft A/S has, among other things, specialised in reconditioning of propeller equipment of all makes.
Recently, they were in charge of refurbishing shaft and propeller of the Norwegian ship DS “Hestmanden”. WENCON Coating white and blue was choosen for refurbisment of the propeller and the repair job was done in Norway by staff from Marineshaft Hirtshals, Denmark.
D/S HESTMANDEN was built by Laxevaags Machine & Jernskibsbyggeri in 1911. The vessel was delivered to Vesteraalens Dampskibsselskab on 23 September 1911 and was for a period, used for cruises between Bergen and Tromso.
D/S Hestmanden has been going
through a large refurbishment, before planned harbour tours with tourists, around Oslo Fjord in summer 2017.
" The propeller is made of iron and therefore needs good protection for future sailing. Based on our experiences, we have choosen WENCON Coating for the repair job, as this is our guarantee for a durable solution “.
