Does that mean body size to get into confined space to do the work?Guest wrote: ↑January 23, 2023, 5:10 pm While I am not sure of the total number of ballast tanks, they all have to be cleaned prior to a vessel entering drydock for the 5 year (now 6 years). This includes all the sand etc that has been sucked in when making ballast for the various cargos or weather conditions. It is a lot of material and it has to be done by hand. Those tanks are then inspected by ABS and USCG. Not alot of people onbaord anymore for this work. Yes the shipyard will offer to do it, for a fee. No great mystery.

Re: H Lee White
H. Lee White is underway from Cockburn Island Sunday early afternoon. What might have been the reason or cause for such a long anchorage and clean up?
Re: H Lee White
An earlier post said something about cleaning ballast tanks. Why would they anchor in such a desolate spot just clean ballast tanks? Personally, I suspect something more.

Does anyone know why the H Lee White has been anchored near Meldrum Bay for the last many days. They were north of Cockburn Is and are south of it now. There’s plenty of traffic traveling past and with à destination of Buffalo there’s loads of places to anchor closer if they had to wait for a dock
