In water repair - Tanker Kit

The patented Miko Plaster® is used for sealing off openings, such as “sea-chests”, water inlets and outlets on all types of floating structures. The provision of temporary, but reliable and watertight seals below the waterline is required for “in-water” repair (IWR) or survey of the ship while she is afloat. As a result of establishing test criteria, developing a test program and thorough witnessed tests, the Miko Tanker Kit is qualified by  the classification society “Det Norske Veritas” (DNV). Tanker Kit’s are supplied to shipyards and shipowners and follow many newsbuildings with the “In water Class notation”.The Tanker Kit contains equipment facilitating the operator of the vessel with the necessary tools for a fast, reliable and cost saving alternative to a docking operation. The kit also includes tools for the event of emergencies, such as oil spills, grounding and cracks. The Tanker Kit is supplied for newbuildings, diving companies, navys, underwater contractors and ship owners and managers world wide.
