FLOATATION
Floatation is done for several reasons and because it is the first time the constructed ship comes in contact with water, the shipbuilders would like to confirm several issues;
- To confirm the water-tight integrity of the welded hull, the hull should not be painted in order to see wet areas and leakages
- To check whether the ship is floating upright, correct if necessary
- Christening the ship, officially naming the ship
- Prayers for blessing the ship and the life of the crew at sea
Successful floatation paves way for hull painting, outfitting, and automation.
