THE SHIPOWNERS VIEW OF SHIP REPAIR YARDS

In the course of normal service, an ocean-going ship will undergo routine drydocking twice every five years, once for Special Survey, and once for Interim Periodic Docking and Survey. In the case of a ship voyaging worldwide, the owner has a wide selection of shipyards from which to choose, and various methods of selection can be used, but usually it is a relatively simple choice based on an economic assessment of total repair cost. This paper discusses means for improving the competitiveness and efficiency of a ship repair yard, emphasising the advantages of the Standard Specification method developed by the Author's company, Esso Europe Inc. The second part of the paper deals with matters concerning the safety of the ship after docking. Examples of the documentation, check lists, safety permits, etc. for use by the Shipboard Safety Co-ordinator and the Repair Superintendent are provided in Appendices.
