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.
- Pre-Docking Preparation:
- Inspection and Assessment: Conduct a thorough inspection and assessment of the ship’s condition to identify necessary repairs, maintenance, and upgrades.
- Documentation Review: Ensure that all required documentation, including class certificates, drawings, and manuals, is up-to-date and available for reference.
- Planning and Coordination:
- Project Planning: Develop a detailed plan outlining the scope of work, timelines, and resource requirements.
- Contractor Selection: Collaborate with shipyards and contractors, ensuring they are qualified and have experience in the specific tasks required.
- Logistics Coordination: Coordinate the logistics of the dry-docking process, including tug services, crane usage, and the availability of necessary equipment.
- Dry-Dock Operations:
- Docking Procedures: Supervise the actual docking process to ensure it is carried out safely and in accordance with established procedures.
- Work Oversight: Monitor and oversee repair and maintenance work, ensuring that it aligns with the agreed-upon scope of work.
- Quality Assurance: Implement quality control measures to ensure that the work meets industry standards and regulations.
- Safety and Environmental Compliance:
- Safety Procedures: Enforce strict safety protocols to protect personnel, the ship, and the environment.
- Regulatory Compliance: Ensure that all activities comply with local and international maritime regulations and environmental standards.
- Communication and Reporting:
- Stakeholder Communication: Maintain open communication with shipowners, shipyard personnel, and relevant authorities.
- Progress Reporting: Provide regular updates on the progress of the dry-docking, including any deviations from the initial plan and proposed solutions.
- Post-Docking Activities:
- Sea Trials: Coordinate and oversee sea trials to validate the effectiveness of the repairs and maintenance performed.
- Documentation and Handover: Ensure that all relevant documentation is updated, and the ship is handed back to the owner in a seaworthy condition.
