Bulbous Bow Conversion of Northern Monument had won client’s high praises
The bulbous bow after conversion
Client expresses satisfaction to CXG’s project team
In the afternoon of October 27th, all activities of bulbous bow conversion for Northern Monument in CXG’s 1# drydock were close by the shell coating completion.
Northern Monument is CXG’s third bulbous bow conversion project. This is the second vessel from this client after another bulbous bow conversion, Houston Express. Before its entry to CXG, Production Management Department organized preparation meeting with workshops to clarify construction details and schedule before docking and after undocking. During the construction, with regular site monitor on the progress and solving the existing problems on time, CXG project team had won high praises from the client on site regarding progress and quality control. Besides the sister vessel of Northern Monument, which CXG had won, the client expressed their intention to give CXG more bulbous bow conversion projects in future.
After conversion, bulbous bow can save 5-10% fuel for a single trip, which has made its conversion is a hot spot in conversion market. CXG Production Management Department will work with other workshop and departments to make a standard procedure for similar bulbous conversion with the experiences of the previous 3 projects. We hope to include bulbous bow conversion into our fist product series and increase our brand awareness In the market.
