OCEAN RELIABLE 9078048
One of its magnetic patches has been used to seal a leak in the hull of the "Puma". The crew was unable to stop the flow of water into the engine room until the leak was sealed by a magnetic patch provided by the KV "Farm" which immediately stopped the in-flow of water and enabled the Puma to be escorted to Hammerfest for permanent repair. By re-ballasting the "Puma" it was possible to trim the ship to bring the leak above the water line. This enabled the patch to be applied without the use of divers and to be reinforced by powerful permanent magnets. After the 30 nautical mile open sea voyage to Hammerfest the patch was still found to be secure and maintaining the seal.
