But I have to admit that a set of transformers is a great place to park a glue up. <br />But we are pretty busy on the job at the moment, so I can't promise as much progress as I would like to.<br />Cheers<br />JonasJonas Jensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07787393233185454227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3111753163359491070.post-50158929073310993492016-09-14T08:39:32.208-07:002016-09-14T08:39:32.208-07:00Always enjoy seeing your seafaring adventures.Always enjoy seeing your seafaring adventures.Jeremyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17028867150859768771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3111753163359491070.post-24912729219872842372016-09-13T23:27:06.545-07:002016-09-13T23:27:06.545-07:00Hi Ralph.

At the left (which is actually aft) you can see the exhaust pipes from main engine No 3 and 4 emerging from the deck below where the motors and the generators are placed. My glue up is placed on top of a couple of transformers. They have a nice temperature, so drying the glue is fast and efficient. <br />A bit mor to the back of the picture (midships), are the chilled water compressors. Those are used for sending cold water through all the various space coolers in the ship such as the main A/C plant and also the A/C plants of the switchboard room, to keep all the electronics cool.<br /><br />The tool just behind the transformers is our hydraulic press.<br /><br />We try to keep everything nice and clean, as it help identifying any leaks plus it also help ensuring that people treat the areas with care. <br /><br />Due to traditions on offshore vessels (at least in Norway), the entire ship is washed down prior to changing the crew, which happens every 5 weeks, so generally those ships are very well maintained. <br />Brgds<br />JonasJonas Jensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07787393233185454227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3111753163359491070.post-58283192473869376112016-09-13T02:20:29.948-07:002016-09-13T02:20:29.948-07:00What is the space you are making that in?
