After the completion of an investment project working alongside Caledonian MacBrayne on a 14 day annual refit period on the Isle of Lewis passenger Ferry, Dales Marine secured a contract to undertake refit and installation of new engines.  

Part of the refit work involved the installation of 4 new Volvo D13 MG Engines complete with 4 Stamford HCM 534D Alternators all were installed and commissioned on board the vessel within 10 days.

Scope of Work

• The decommissioning and removal of the four existing units took place on first two days of the vessel docking, modifications to the existing en-gine foundations then took place ready to accept the new units. 
• The new generator sets weighed 3500kgs each.  
• Each generator was lifted down the side of the vessel and fitted in through the side shell opening previously cut for the removals.
• New fuel, water cooling, air start and exhaust pipework was also in-stalled. 
• Electrical disconnections, installation of new cables and load bank commissioning was included in the project.
• Dales Marine’s Project Manager handed over the completed project with the attending vessel Superintendent and the vessel Chief Engineer.
