Dry-docking of MV AEC Diligence, April 2015

The fleet vessel, MV AEC Diligence 31,189 deadweight, built 2002, completed a successful dry-docking and special survey in April 2015.

AEC’s technical managers, SeaQuest attended the vessel whilst in dry-dock and supervised the high quality maintenance carried out.

Apart from the usual dry-dock works carried out, all cargo spaces were treated to maintain the usual, high standards, which AEC believes its customers and other stakeholders ought to expect.

Since the inception of AEC and SeaQuest managing the vessel, she has had no off-hire and it was pleasing to note that, at the first loading port subsequent to the dry-docking, a Port State Control inspection was carried out on board, which the vessel passed without any deficiencies.

AEC’s continues to pride itself of its ongoing commitment to provide its customers with quality transportation services.

Grab Operations

Loading and discharging at the East Coast of South America or the U.S. East Coast at times require own equipment at ports that do not always have what is needed to load and discharge the bulk cargoes.

AEC has exclusive access to various sets of grabs strategically situated along the two coasts. In total AEC have access to four full sets of grabs and accessories making it possible to fit grabs at almost any vessel with cranes.

Furthermore AEC has alliances with local specialists who will take care of all the practicalities, perform the operations and do the maintenance of the equipment.

Dry-docking of MV AEC Belief

AEC’s technical managers, SeaQuest, with whom AEC’s enjoys a close, strategic relationship, attended the vessel on-site to supervise and ensure maintenance was carried out to strict quality standards.

A subsequent condition survey of the vessel rated the hull, accommodation, deck areas, and cargo holds as being in very good condition (with “good” being the best criteria for inspection rating).

This sort of quality tonnage is a true testament to AEC’s ongoing commitment to provide its customers with quality transportation services.
