       In connection with our work we see lots of different vessels and their electrical systems. When we encounter problems we try to take pictures of the conditions we find. Additionally when conducting vessel electrical surveys and inspections we take pictures of problems encountered. Displayed on this page are small copies of a few of these pictures.

     When you point your cursor at a picture and click on it, an enlarged version of the picture will be displayed with additional descriptive text, arrows to specific problems and in some cases additional pictures of the problem or a picture of what was done to fix the problem.
