“Diagnosing” the ship is the first and most important step in the repair process. With experience and a professional eye, the worker will examine every detail: hull, engine, propeller… to come up with a treatment plan. Photo: TP

Every crack and layer of barnacles on the hull is thoroughly cleaned by the workers. This step not only requires physical strength, but also requires carefulness to avoid damaging the wooden or iron hull, which has been worn out by seawater. Photo: TP

Patching the hull - an indispensable part of every "maintenance" of a fishing boat. Under the skillful hands of the craftsman, holes and cracks are welded, patched and sealed, giving the boat back the necessary strength. Photo: TP

Every rudder, propeller shaft, and even the smallest details are all manufactured and machined right at the factory for replacement. Ship repair requires high skills and a deep understanding of mechanics, wood, and machinery. Photo: TP

Giving the boat a new coat of paint, the workers are meticulous and hard-working, repainting, replacing planks, and reinforcing the rotten wooden hull. They are reviving a means of making a living in the middle of the ocean. Photo: TP

Currently, the ship repair industry faces many difficulties: silted waterways, limited investment capital, and fishermen not building new ships, making it difficult for workshops to survive. However, in the midst of hardship, they still work hard to maintain their profession. Photo: TP
