Northern Rib Hire Ensures Commercial Vessels for Hire Receives Annual Upkeep and Maintenance


Posted February 7, 2021 by northernribhire

Customers of the esteemed Northern Rib Hire service can rest assured that the vessels for hire are in top condition thanks to regular, scheduled maintenance.
 
Their fleet is the pride and joy of Northern Rib Hire, a renowned and esteemed company offering maritime vessels for hire in the UK. The reason why this popular company is held in such high regard is due, in part, to the fact that each and every vessel in their fleet receives regular, scheduled maintenance on an annual basis. Ordinarily, at the beginning of each year, as is true for 2021 as well, they embark upon the grueling task of ensuring every vessel receives proper winter maintenance. This is also the time that they spend making sure that every rib and catamaran in their fleet receives the necessary upgrades so that they can effectively meet the latest needs of their clients and themselves.

A spokesperson from Northern Rib Hire said: “We usually kick off the winter maintenance by removing the boats from the water and getting them onto stands ready for inspection, servicing and repainting. We also perform an all-round deep clean on each vessel to ensure that they look as good as the day we took delivery of them.”

The first item on the list of servicing is the engine of each boat. Although adverse weather and torrential rain may sometimes make this process difficult, the dedicated team at Northern Rib Hire will not let weather stand in their way, and they press on with a full service of each engine and, as soon as the weather permits it, they repaint the hull of each boat with several coats of fresh anti-foul paint.

Due to the fact that many of their commercial vessels are hired out on a regular basis for various activities including diving, maritime surveys, crew transfers, and watersports, the ribs also receive safety upgrades. Some of the safety upgrades include built-in cranes that can not only bring aboard heavy objects needed for certain excursions, but can also be employed in a Man Overboard situation. This allows anyone traveling aboard the boat additional safety and security with minimal risk of injury. Ladders for ease of access and Umbilical Horns that keep divers’ umbilical cords safely coiled are just some other safety upgrades that the boats may receive.
Although the majority of the vessels usually just need minor repairs and a new lick of paint, some will inevitably receive a brand-new overhaul and others will receive new non-slip deck covers, which makes the experience for anyone aboard not only much more pleasant, but also a lot safer.
