The Tanker Kit is well proven as a cost-saving alternative to dry-docking. It is used world-wide for in-water repair or survey of floating structures.
Miko Plaster® – the main component of the Tanker Kit – is a magnetic tarpaulin that provides a temporary, but reliable, watertight seal below the waterline. It is qualified by DNV GL for blanking off sea chests, water inlets and outlets while the ship is float. The seal is achieved by the water pressure and the magnetic adhesion between the patch and the steel surface.
No hot-work or hydraulic tools are required for the installation. Supplementary tools required for installation are included in the kit.
