What this video covers

A water leak from a newly installed seal set stopped Suisui丸 from returning to sea on the day Hitomi and crew had planned the relaunch.3:22 The replacement seal and adjustment had just been completed — resolving the part that had been delaying departure — when the first water test revealed the leak, forcing the boat back to the maintenance yard.1:30 During the same day, an unmanned motorboat drifted into the area during a lift operation, alarming the crew, though no collision occurred.6:55 Hitomi reflects that finding the seal leak at the dock, before heading offshore, was fortunate despite the frustration of another delay.8:28 The crew marks the occasion by renaming the boat Suisui丸.1:27 A new table was also installed and is expected to see regular use.8:28 The episode closes with Hitomi noting that extreme weather events are increasing and that each maintenance step and upgrade has been carried out carefully with safety in mind.0:34 Catching a seal failure at the dock beats discovering it offshore.8:28
