Dry Dock Supervision

Overview

A vessel in dock loses much of its own protection: fixed systems are isolated, hot work is everywhere and hundreds of contractors move through enclosed spaces. We have supervised fire safety across more than 25 shipyards and dry docks. From vessel arrival and the dry-dock undertaking through to completion and Sea Trials, our support helps maintain safe and effective marine operations throughout the process. Following completion, Sea Trials may be used to test and verify relevant systems and operations before the vessel returns to service.

What the service covers

• Safety support from vessel arrival, docking and yard entry through completion and Sea Trials preparation
• Hot work permit control, fire watch provision and standby cover
• Temporary fire main, extinguisher and detection coverage planning
• Enclosed space entry control and gas-free certification support
• Contractor induction, muster and evacuation arrangements
• Daily safety walk-rounds with photographic reporting
• Isolation and reinstatement tracking for fixed systems ahead of completion and Sea Trials
