36,000 sailing hours

At 1 April 2021 the ship log showed it had sailed 10,800 hours since 1 April 2018. In the year ended 31 March 2022, the ship sailed for 1,200 hours for the six months to 30 September 2021 and a further 1,000 hours in the six months to 31 March 2022.

On 1 October 2021 the ship suffered a ‘collision’ an accident which damaged one of the engines beyond repair. This was replaced by a new engine with a life of 36,000 hours at cost of GHS10·8 million. Another engine was also damaged, but was repaired at a cost of GHS3 million; however, its remaining estimated life was shortened to 15,000 hours. The accident also caused cosmetic damage to the exterior of the ship which required repainting at a cost of GHS2 million. As the ship was out of service for some weeks due to the accident, GG shipping took the opportunity to upgrade its cabin facilities at a cost of GHS4·5 million. This did not increase the estimated remaining life of the cabin fittings, but the improved facilities enabled GG shipping to substantially increase the ship fares on this ship.
