Docking Supervision

Over decades we have accumulated knowledge and combined experience and can fully handle the complete planning, preparation and execution of planned dry docks or unplanned repairs. We understand that docking is an important part of ship management and are able to provide project management, technical support, supervision and expertise, supporting all docking activities.
