Production Meeting Notes
SandBar Shipbuilders
April 1, 2020
Hull 666 M/V Arc
Mr. Jones, Yard Superintendent, opened with a Safety Briefing about company policies on Covid 19 and Personal Protection Equipment.
Mr. Smith, Project Manager for Hull 666, M/V Arc, reminded all that the ship sails next week. He received reports from the Hull, Mechanical, Joiner, Piping and Electrical Department Leads.
Owner’s Rep Noah asked where his Dry Land Detector device was installed; Amidst finger-pointing , all remained silent, as it was dropped into the bilge and no cable had ever been pulled to connect it to the sky hook sensors.
Supervisors, Boudreaux and Thibodaux discussed with Alexander, the XYZ Surveyor, the close-ups of electrical and pipe penetrations to meet the XYZ Type Approvals. Also, grave concern about what was required to rout the Dry Land Detector cable from the bilge to the Pilot House.
Warehouse Manager Bubba and Purchasing Manager Adam remained silent amidst the finger-pointing when expired firestop materials and filler block shortages were reported onboard the Arc.
So, with 2020 perfect hindsight vision, here is the answer to the M/V Arc sailing next week…
