The operation was performed in stages in several locations to allow the vessel to keep to its sailing schedule.

When one of the four 40 ton swing-up azimuth thrusters of an offshore crane barge which was servicing rigs on an oil field off the coast of Gabon malfunctioned, Hydrex was called in to remove the thruster and perform the necessary repair work while the unit stayed at anchorage just outside the field.

Hydrex has pioneered many different uses of mobdocks including sealing off thruster tunnels at both ends before removing the water and creating a dry space within.
