What happened?<\/strong><\/p>\n

A potential fire hazard was discovered, caused by a failed fuel pipe connection on the supply line to the main engines. The Chief Engineer was called to engine room with a report of a leak on a low pressure fuel supply line supplying both main engines. Upon arriving in the engine room and assessing the situation, a temporary repair was effected, due to being unable to isolate the pipe. Self-amalgamating tape was used to reduce the leak to a weep and then fibre-glass resin and bandage was applied, to try and seal the weep.<\/p>\n

At the time, both main engines were running with the starboard engine on load, although the port propeller was declutched. Three auxiliary engines and all the thrusters were on load.<\/p>\n
