Bollinger Quick Repair (BQR), the ship repair and conversion facilities of Bollinger Shipyard has gone online with its new service, which aims to save vessel owners and operators money, as well as helping vessels to run more efficiently. The service is available via any of Bollinger's 14 shipyard in Louisiana and Texas. "Experience in our quick repair shipyard has shown that many new vessels are outfitted with under performing propellers for the type and work of the boat," said Jim Smith, BQR's engineering and technical manager. Smith added that a problem is obviously visible when propellers are damaged. However, he cited that when a vessel is not performing as expected, the propellers are often the wrong size, pitch diameter, style, or material.
