Wencon Dry Docking Solutions
Months of planning lie ahead of each dry docking. It is a complicated and expensive procedure that involves inspecting every part of the vessel meticulously ahead of docking, to ensure that every task gets the attention needed to plan maintenance and repairs throughout the dry docking.
Planning for the unexpected
By focusing on cost-effective repair over replacement strategies, you can save man hours, avoid unnecessary downtime, and ensure your vessel is back in service efficiently.
Economic sense
Maintenance and repair that require replacement parts, may delay a docking process considerably.
Therefore, having alternative solutions to replacements, and by maintaining parts continuously, during each dry-docking, it can in some cases extend the lifetime with up to 10+ years, which makes good economic sense.
Avoid replacement costs
Common challenges like bimetallic corrosion, cavitation and erosion/corrosion damages in those limited assess areas, are often associated a high replacement and labor cost.
A Wencon Repair Kit can be tailored for the dry docking repair. It is the solution for many shipowners when planning for the unexpected repairs and allows them to extend the lifetime and maintain vital parts.
