I doubt eDoc has been lifted out like this before. Cairns has a massive ship travelift that can take vessels up to 10m wide. We just make it. The work starts now. The goal is to repaint the hulls and change the signage but the opportunity will be there to do lots of other work while on the hardstand. The working crew will be Baden and Gavin. Capably supported on the home front by Catherine who keeps our world moving while we get bogged down in sanding (literallY)
