Sand Blasting is usually the effective method to remove rust (or tough stain/dirt) on ship's hull
Sand blasting equipment usually consist of a chamber where sand and air are mixed
The sand been dried before loaded to the chamber. The sand need to be dry when use in the sand blasting process
The mixture will travels through a hand held nozzle to direct the particles towards the intended surface.
The ship's hull surface will be exposed after the sand blasting process, revealing a near clean surface.
The exposed surface is to be coated immediately to prevent it to be exposed to air and water as it will cause the metal surface to corrode.In an uncontrolled environment, sand blasting can cause air pollution and lung related disease. Inhaling the dust and flying material will cause lung injury in the long term

Yes, the yard is at Sibu, Sapor Shipyard
Oh, this is interesting. So this is part of your job? No wonder you know so much about it!

Woow! The workers and their manager deserved an Immediate Stop Work Order and Serious Safety Violation Summon for not wearing safety harness, safety helmet and using lifting crane without man basket :O They literally throw out the safety rules! Pardon my reaction ya, I'm a safety nerd :P
Interesting...but seems like kind of "heavy duty" work!
No wonder they call shipyarding "heavy industry". It really seems to be the case.
Can imagine blasting the whole ship, must take weeks.
I want to sandblast my old truck. Any ideas?
