The cargo deck reinstatement of the M/V Norsky delivered a remarkable 2,455 m² [26,425 ft²] of Sandwich Plate System, SPS, by our Network Partner, SRC at the Fayard A/S shipyard in Denmark. The team used 157 tonnes of steel, demonstrating the scale of the project.

In this Engineering, Procurement, Construction and Installation (EPCI) project, the team installed structural composite SPS as an overlay solution on the existing deck structure of the M/V Norsky, covering more than 127m² of the deck. Throughout the demanding programme, a combined team of SRC and SPS Technology staff maintained continuous quality control.

To meet the tight deadline, we formed a dedicated 70-person project team and split it into two gangs. Although foul weather battered the open Upper Deck, the team worked continuously to keep the programme on schedule.

As a result, the team completed the permanent repair in just 25 days, including mobilisation and demobilisation. The reinstated deck now exceeds its as-built strength and flatness, and DNV granted class society approval.

The M/V Norsky is a Finnish-flagged Ro-Ro cargo vessel built in 1999. With an overall length of 180 meters and breadth of 25.2 meters, the  M/V Norsky can carry a maximum of 11,400 metric tons of cargo across three decks.

SPS was subsequently chosen to renew the deck of the Norsky’s sister vessel, the  Ro-Ro cargo ferry MS Norstream.
