Course Description

Dry dock is a structured area wherein construction, repairs and maintenance of merchant vessels and boats are carried out. The unique construction allows the water to be filled up in that area, also known as lock, so that vessels can be maneuvered in and out of the area. Once the vessel enters the dry dock, the gates are closed, and the seawater is drained out so that hull and other areas of the ship which have been exposed to sea water for a long time are available for carrying out maintenance and repair works. This course covers the topics related to dry-dock and Under Water Inspection as an alternative to dry-docking inspection surveys.
