Southampton Party Liner Slips Again!!!Ocean Scene slips for annual overhaul and survey.Thursday 15th February 2007 did not provide an equatorial climate for the purposes of slipping a high freeboard cruiser. Instead our elite team was greeted with strong southerly winds in which to act.  Cradle modifications were completed under the supervision of our very own docking superintendent Geoff Waddington and with cradle launching complete the task of positioning the craft over the prepared cradle for hauling out was given to the launches provided by Itchen Marine Towage Limited. When M/V Ocean Scene was suitably in position wires were attached to allow for precise line up before the 'haul away' command given.The whole process was completed on schedule taking approximately 90 mins.  A successful slipping on a typical February day was followed five days later by a successful launch following an intense period of re-fit and rennovation. Not quite the Queen Mary II affair but none the less. Marchwood Slipways prevail again!Marchwood Slipways are capable of taking up to 1000-tonnes of most types of working craft.
