Each day's work at the shipyard begins with a meeting to coordinate all activities.

Supplies and support hardware are similarly organized for this large-scale work.

Plastic piping will be used as a sluice to move water from the power-washing process to a catch barge. This innovative process manages and contains output to prevent any environmental impact. Victoria Shipyards prides itself in its attention to environmental concerns.

Removing the starboard anchor… This anchor (and one like it on the portside) weighs 15 tons. The 500 meters of anchor chain adds challenge to this operation.

Scaffolding on the underside of the Launch Platform will support the power-washing and painting operations.
