Ferry maintenance

The diving team ( from Melbourne )

The diving team's guard. He is " glued " to that spot. He keeps an eye on the motor which supplies the air. He is also in constant radio contact with the diver

The back-up diver and " gofer " and the diver himself (Photo below)

Ready to remove the offending guide module

A number  of photos showing the recovered guide module. Compare that with the reconditioned one

As good as new

This is the roller where the nylon bush disintegrated

After the replacement module has been lowered by the crane ( see photo below) two wedges are inserted to   " tightly jam " the module into position.

This tool holds the ferry tight to the shore whilst the diver disconnects and untwist the chain.

    The crane is lowering the module into position.
