A hatch cover testing seminar and product launch of Cygnus Hatch Sure jointly organised by Cygnus Instruments Ltd. and Andrew Moore & Associates Ltd. was held at the British Consulate Hong Kong on 6 November 2009.

As we know, hose testing of hold hatch covers is not feasible if the vessel is loaded with cargoes and during cold weather and may have some more restrictions and the hold hatch covers are to be tested using ultrasound equipment in accordance with the Club’s condition survey checklist. So we therefore believe the seminar will be of our surveyors’ great benefit due to the increasing importance of an effective hatch testing instrument. 

Mr. Shi Depei from CMS Shanghai Branch was invited to attend the seminar and launch. He wrote a briefing and shared what he had learned after his return with the surveyors in CMS.
