Dry Docking & Repairs

Dry Docking and Repair Supervision

Periodic dry dockings and major repairs are critical events in a ship’s life cycle. Westline offers expert dry docking management and repair supervision services to ensure these complex projects are completed efficiently and to the highest quality standards. Our technical superintendents have extensive experience in planning and overseeing dry docks for various vessel types. We act in the owner’s interest at every step – from choosing the right shipyard to final sea trials – ensuring downtime is minimized and the vessel returns to service in optimal condition.

Our Dry Dock & Repair Services include:

Dry Dock Planning: We develop a comprehensive dry dock plan based on the vessel’s survey cycle and maintenance needs. This includes creating a detailed work scope (repair specifications) covering hull blasting/coating, machinery overhauls, steel renewals, valve overhauls, and any modifications or upgrades. We also help select the appropriate timing and location for dry docking to align with the vessel’s trading schedule.
Shipyard Selection & Contracts: Leveraging our industry connections, we assist in choosing a reputable shipyard that fits the project requirements and budget. We obtain and evaluate quotations from multiple yards, negotiate favorable terms, and review contracts to protect the owner’s interests. Our goal is to secure quality workmanship at a competitive price.
On-Site Supervision: During the dry dock period, Westline assigns experienced superintendent engineers on-site at the shipyard. They closely supervise all repair and maintenance jobs, coordinating between the shipyard teams and the vessel’s crew. Our supervisors enforce strict quality control, ensure safety procedures are followed, and verify that all tasks are completed as per specification and class standards.
Project Management & Updates: We manage the dry dock project timeline and budget vigilantly. Owners receive regular progress updates, including any findings or additional work recommendations. By proactively managing the project, we prevent delays and control costs, avoiding scope creep and unnecessary expenses.
Testing & Sea Trials: Upon completion of repairs, we oversee thorough testing of all systems (dock trials) and coordinate sea trials if required. We verify that the vessel’s performance is fully restored (or improved) and that all class survey items are signed off. A detailed completion report, including before-and-after documentation and cost summaries, is provided to the owner.

With Westline’s dry docking and repair supervision, owners can be confident that their vessel’s major maintenance events are in capable hands. Our involvement reduces the risk of cost overruns and technical issues post-drydock. We aim for timely project completion and full compliance with class and safety standards, thereby extending the longevity and reliability of your vessel. From minor voyage repairs to full special survey dry docks, Westline’s team stands by your side to deliver excellent results.
