Hi Midwestchick,

 

While I have not received any direct information, I would think that's a fair assumption.

 

 

If that is the case, that's a shame. :confused: :(

Great pictures! Thanks for posting Andy. :)

Wow, I am not a propeller expert by a mile but is that a weld/braze seam on that prop, or is that a rope or something? And look at the prop blade where the bent area was ground out and not rebuilt (top blade above the seam/rope). This guy has been around the block. My guess is that a new propeller is on order for the next dry dock. Amazing to me that a shaft seal could be supplied on such short notice, maybe those things are more standard parts than I assumed.

Where did Deirdre's (dln29) Twitter link go? It was easier to look at that.

It is a rope. The prop is fine with that cutout and will be replaced or rebuilt no doubt at another time.

shaft seals are typically always in stock at drydock facilities.

 

Rest assured.

 

In another life, I worked on ships (engine room) and have been part of many drydocks, engine rebuilds/replace, and ship builds.

Here's a photo from Captain Johannes, of the dock being refilled with water. This was taken about 22 hours ago. Nice to see he's rejoined Journey !

Here's another Azamazing photo. "Props" to Captain Johannes for the fantastic photo ! Sorry, I couldn't resist the prop joke :)

Does anyone know if , as long as Journey was is dry dock for the propeller repair, they did any other refurbishment of the ship?

Hi Sabbo,

 

As this was an "unscheduled drydock", other than the repair at hand, and probably routine cleaning and such... I doubt much else was done. Perhaps AzamaraJoel will reply on this thread. Hope this helps !
