Preperation and Removal of Existing Generators

The Africa Mercy entering the dry dock in the port of Durban, South Africa.



Below decks, the deck plates have been removed around the Frichs
and Harbour generators to prepare them to be removed from the ship.



The Frichs generators, still in position, and beyond the hole cut in the port side
of the hull  for the removal of the generators.



The two Harbour generators having been transported into the ballast tank
besides the harbour generator room, waiting to be removed from the ship.



The hole cut in the port side of the hull of the Africa Mercy to remove the
old generators. You can see the Frichs generators inside waiting to be removed.



The remains of one of the harbour generators being removed from the Africa Mercy
over the weekend. It was moved inch by inch onto a platform outside the hull, and
lifted onto a waiting truck by the shore crane.

square on the floor is the incinerator, waiting to be returned to its correct place.
