Importance of Watertightness for Ship Hulls
Watertightness is critical for bulk carriers, preventing water ingress that threatens stability at Phu My Port. A compromised hull, especially on the side plating, can lead to flooding, endangering cargo, crew, and the vessel itself. Moreover, it violates IACS and NKK structural integrity standards, risking classification suspension. Vietnam Shiprepair’s Steel Works restores watertightness, ensuring compliance and operational safety in harsh marine environments.
