[size=52]Iraqis face a difficult task.. They are repairing ships so that they do not sink in the Gulf sea[/size]

[size=45]FAO (Basra)[/size]
[size=45]Engineer Hardan Jasib is known as the best specialist for removing rust from fishing hooks in Basra. It is a complex process in which certain types of sand are used for a specific period of time, taking into account the movement of the wind during work. Hardan Jasib says that the accumulation of rust is the most dangerous enemy of fishing hooks made of iron, as it causes holes. A sudden accident while sailing may lead to its sinking.[/size]
[size=45]M. Hardan Jasb - boat and boat repairman:[/size]
[size=45]Our work is to maintain and maintain boats in the Al-Faw district. We also work outside the district, and we go to sea if the part to be repaired is visible above the water.[/size]
[size=45]Most of the rims that we repair and remove rust from are those that have stopped working for a long time due to lack of fuel or any other reason.[/size]
[size=45]We take advantage of the phenomenon of islands and create what we call a “codi” or “deck,” that is, a barrier between the bottom of the ling and the water, so that we can work freely.[/size]
[size=45]We prefer to work when the wind direction is north, as it helps dry the layers of rust from water and moisture.[/size]
[size=45]We begin by filtering the sand using a special mixer and cleaning it from impurities (stone and gravel). Then we begin to remove the layers of rust from the siding made of iron by sprinkling sand on it using a hot air pump. The sand moves under pressure and the worker passes it over the layers of rust gradually until they are completely removed and we call it This process sand plus.[/size]
[size=45]The second stage is to clean the entire place using a water pump. This process is called water plus. Then we dry it with a hot air hose and the area is ready for painting.[/size]
[size=45]The most commonly used type of paint is epoxy, which is first-class. We mix it using a special mixer for 20-25 minutes, and we paint the place 3 times.[/size]
[size=45]The sand used is of the best quality (black Kurd) and its price reaches $200, so the fishermen prefer that we use regular sand, which is much lower in price.[/size]
[size=45]Regardless of the type of sand, we expose it to shaking in the mixer, and its thickness must be (0.4) mm, then it is placed in a filter with a thickness of (0.4) mm also so that it is suitable for spraying with hot air.[/size]
[size=45]The cleaning period varies according to the size of the shingle, and the amount and area of ​​rust, and it lasts between (3-5) days, and some take a longer period. In general, the work continues until we are sure that no rust remains before painting.[/size]
[size=45]The cost of the work also varies according to the damage and the size of the boat or boat, but the average cost is one and a half million dinars.[/size]
