The new owner of Touaraken III (ex MV Renaissance) Willie Naripo, with the assistance of Taiford Marine has used a system of inflatable rubber tubes to lift his vessel for hull and propeller shaft repairs.
This operation is being carried out at Pontoon Bay, Port Vila. Pontoon Bay is currently the temporary site for coastal ships and landing craft to load and unload their cargoes whilst the new coastal shipping wharf is under construction.
