Dry Docking

Why Outsource Dry Docking!!

Outsourcing dry docking ensures your fleet remains operational and efficient, maintaining high maintenance standards without diverting internal resources.

Key Benefits of Outsourcing Dry Docking

  • Optimized Resource Allocation: Allowing Superintendents to focus on operational integrity rather than being pulled into dry docking, thus maintaining fleet management efficiency.
    • Typically, each superintendent oversees 3-10 vessels, depending on the company structure.
    • A team of 4 superintendents manages approximately 32 vessels under one fleet manager.
    • Diverting a superintendent to dry docking disrupts this delicate balance, placing undue stress on team members and hampering overall operations.
  • Maintain Focus on Primary Responsibilities: Superintendents remain dedicated to maintaining operational integrity of the fleet, preventing minor issues from escalating due to neglected maintenance.
  • Specialized Expertise: Access to specialized knowledge, infrastructure, tools, and skilled personnel for faster, high-quality outcomes with daily communication with the superintendents and ensuring the fulfilment of their objectives.
