WORLD'S TOUGHEST FIXES

Sean Riley (host) reviews thruster exchange technical diagrams with the DCV Balder's Chief Engineer, Rene.

A propulsion service engineer removes bolts that keep the 38 ton thruster well attached in the hull of the DCV balder nearly 200 feet below the main deck.

To get a different perspective of the size and layout of the DCV Balder, Sean Riley rides about 200 feet above the ocean in a gear basket

The Deepwater Construction Vessel Balder is a craneship designed to lift and transport heavy objects for deep sea work.

Sean Riley tests out his underwater communications system.

When the old thruster comes out from under the hull of the vessel and pops up through the surface of the sea, the barge needs to be close by for the thruster to be quickly loaded on.

Riley prepares to unload his gear across the deck of the DCV Balder for a massive 38 ton underwater thruster exchange.
