Our Dry-Docking Supervision Include?
Ship maintenance during a dry docking period involves a comprehensive range of activities aimed at maintaining vessel integrity, ensuring regulatory compliance, and, when necessary, extending operational lifespan. Although specific tasks may vary depending on the vessel’s type, age, operational profile, and regulatory standards, the following are common elements of typical docking maintenance:
1. Hull Maintenance:
- Cleaning and painting the hull to remove biofouling and prevent corrosion.
- Inspecting and repairing hull damage such as cracks, dents, or structural issues.
- Servicing or renewing corrosion prevention systems, including impressed current systems or sacrificial anodes.
- Measuring tail shaft and rudder clearances, and replacing tail shaft seals as needed.
- Maintaining thrusters or controllable pitch propellers (CPP) according to manufacturer recommendations.
2. Machinery and Systems Maintenance:
- Performing regular servicing and overhauls of engines, generators, and auxiliary machinery, including control and automation systems.
- Engaging manufacturers for software updates or specialized maintenance.
- Cleaning and inspecting auxiliary systems, replacing leaking pipes or pumps, and clearing blockages to ensure proper operation.
3. Electrical Systems Maintenance:
- Checking, calibrating, and maintaining electrical components such as circuit breakers, wiring, switches, and control panels.
- Repairing or replacing damaged electrical parts.
4. Navigation, Cargo, and Communication Equipment Maintenance:
- Testing, updating software, and calibrating navigation aids like GPS, AIS, radar, gyrocompasses, and echo sounders.
- Ensuring communication equipment, including GMDSS radios, EPIRBs, SARTs, and satellite systems, are fully functional.
- Reviewing cargo loading and monitoring systems for updates or upgrades as recommended by manufacturers.
5. Safety Equipment Maintenance:
- Inspecting and servicing lifeboats, liferafts, and launching systems.
- Maintaining safety gear such as immersion suits, life jackets, and fire extinguishers.
- Testing fire detection and suppression systems.
6. Deck and Superstructure Maintenance:
- Cleaning, descaling, and painting decks and superstructure to prevent corrosion.
- Repairing or replacing damaged components such as railings, pipes, valves, cable trays, lighting, windlasses, winches, and mooring fixtures.
- Conducting periodic pressure tests on deck pipes, brake tests on winches and windlasses, and load testing on cranes.
7. Interior Maintenance:
- Maintaining cleanliness and proper functioning of living quarters, sanitation, HVAC systems, and common areas.
- Repairing or refurbishing interior fixtures and furnishings showing wear and tear to meet safety and MLC standards.
8. Safety Inspections and Surveys:
- Ensuring compliance with inspections and surveys conducted by classification societies and flag authorities.
9. Environmental Compliance:
Managing waste disposal and pollution prevention, including the proper handling of hazardous materials in accordance with environmental regulations.
This may involve retrofitting systems to meet current regulatory standards, such as Ballast Water Treatment systems, exhaust gas scrubbers, and fuel oil sampling points.
10. Record-Keeping:
- Providing daily updates on work progress.
- Discussing any variations or additional scope of work with the owner for approval, as these may impact the project budget.
- Coordinating with the yard to compile a detailed docking report, including records of maintenance, calibrations, and repairs performed.
Proper ship maintenance is vital for crew safety, environmental protection, and the vessel’s operational lifespan. It also helps prevent costly breakdowns and ensures the vessel remains capable of fulfilling its intended functions.
