What Is Dry Docking Service ?

Dry docking is a vital maintenance procedure for ships that involves taking the vessel out of the water for inspection, repair, and overhaul. During dry docking, the ship is positioned in a dry dock, which is a large basin or dock that can be flooded and drained to allow ships to be floated in and out. This process allows ship managers and engineers to access the hull and other underwater parts of the ship, which are normally submerged when the vessel is in the water. Dry docking is typically carried out every few years or as per the regulatory requirements to ensure the ship’s safety, structural integrity, and operational efficiency.
