MTS Talisman successfully completed special survey
Meeting all required safety and technical standards
31 JULY 2025 | #FLEET
More good news from the shipyard. Our MTS Talisman has successfully completed its special survey. This confirms that the barge meets all required safety and technical standards, following reviews and inspections. The Talisman is once again fully compliant, fit for inland shipping and ready for the future.
In almost two weeks time, a great deal of work was completed. All class items were performed, including hull inspection, implementation of a new generator, checks on anchors and bow thrusters and inspection of the pumps and pipelines.
In addition, several upgrades were made. To improve safety, sampling accuracy and environmental performance, Tank-Eye has been installed. Two Mass Flow Meters were added as well, in line with other barges in our fleet. Finally, we have added a catalyst, to make sure the Talisman is now Stage V-compliant.
Many thanks to our team of superintendents and crew on board. Their efforts made this class a success.
Also a big thank you to our subcontractors: Endress+Hauser Group, Mourik EGP, Tank-Eye B.V., Scheepswerf Kooiman Hoebee B.V., Oonincx Scheeopsonderhouden, Verhaar Omega and Pon Power.
