Barring few final touches we are now nearing the completion
of dry-docking. Yesterday the dock was flooded and we were set afloat along
with two supply vessels. And what about the barge which was in our company?
Well, it is just a dumb barge with no engines or machinery. But it is quite a
big barge and is in the dock for considerable steel renewal and it will be
quite some time before it gets completed. So, when the dock was being flooded
the barge was allowed to stay and sink. Now the barge will give company to SCI
tanker Palnimlay- next vessel in line to enter dry-dock.

We had chance to maneuver both the lifeboats in water with ship staff,
while carrying out the five-yearly mandatory tests. As usual the hull has been
painted and all other repairs have been carried out.

| Letters of old name lying on dry dock gangway |
The letters representing the old name of the vessel on the
bows and stern were sliced off and the new name Allcargo Laxmi was planted by
bead welding and painting. Previously, the name was just stenciled over the old
projecting letters and did not present a very imposing look. But now, the name
looks sovereign and prominent.

The vessel has also been bedecked with company’s name on ship’s sides
amidships. Starboard side of the funnel, which was earlier blank, has also been
decorated with company’s logo.
