Wet Dock & Dry Dock Project Management

Project management in service, wet dock or dry dock.

Drydocking of a vessel can be the most considerable single expense an operator can expend on their ship or fleet.

Dry dock planning can pull on a lot of internal resources, causing other projects or plans to be placed on hold, especially when unexpected.

FAQ’s

We have only a short window for our forthcoming dry dock, and we are not sure whether we will need to withdraw the vessels tail shaft. Will this be necessary?

In short, perhaps. It will depend on the lubrication type, time since last removed and any Class requirements.
Part of our project management activity is to collate all historical information as well as Classification Society conditions and requirements. By engaging our services, we will judge what activities or inspections are definitely or possibly required during the dock. We can liaise with the Classification Society on your behalf, and together develop a plan to complete all required works, as well as satisfy all Class requirements.

It is essential that out departure from dock is not delayed – how can we ensure this?

While nothing within a dock is certain, being well prepared for all potential problems that could be faced within the work scope will assist. Part of our management activity will be to gauge the risks for each piece of equipment within the scope, and identify mitigation actions. This could include doing some preparatory inspection before the dock, or ensuring that spare equipment or parts are on hand in the yard. We have a great deal of experience in minimising schedule risk – please get in touch to discuss your particular requirements to see how we could assist.

Why do we need to engage third party project support, when the yard is very capable at docking ships?

In our experience, yards have varied expertise and are not always familiar with specific pieces of equipment and technology on your vessel. They also have a priority to complete works quickly, freeing their dock and maximise their own revenues. Able to operate independently of both the vessel and yard, we take a balanced view on every situation, and represent best interests of our customer. Companies who have engaged our services usually find that the savings delivered on associated equipment supply, time and rectification costs for errors made without our help, far outweigh our costs – delivering a lower risk and cost docking.

I would definitely make use of AtZ again, even for a basic docking and tail shaft work. AtZ supply a …
