Georgetown Port Inc. Delivers Precision Repairs, Enhancements, and Superior Maintenance for Inland and Offshore Contractors Ltd.
From November 22 to December 3, 2024, Georgetown Port Inc. completed a successful dry docking of the Hilton Joseph, owned by Inland and Offshore Contractors Ltd. This project involved cleaning, repairs, and upgrades to ensure the vessel is ready for its next operations.
Step 1: Cleaning and Protecting the Hull
The hull is the foundation of any vessel, so our work started there:
- Scraping and Washing: We removed dirt, marine growth, and debris from the hull.
- Sandblasting: Rust and corroded areas were cleaned to industry standards.
- Coatings: High-quality primers, ocean-blue topcoats, and anti-fouling paint were applied to protect the hull and improve efficiency.

Step 2: Refreshing the Vessel’s Appearance
We took special care to make the Hilton Joseph look its best:
- The waterline, draft marks, vessel name, and decks were carefully repainted.
- Anti-fouling paint was used on underwater areas to prevent marine growth.

Step 3: Servicing Mechanical Components
Our team ensured every mechanical system was working perfectly:
- Grills, valves, and pumps were removed, cleaned, and reinstalled.
- Rudder and tail shaft clearances were adjusted to meet specifications.
- Propellers were polished to improve performance.
