Docking Process Coordination

Demap Teknik Makina provides complete Docking Process Coordination services to ensure that your vessel’s drydocking operations are executed efficiently, safely, and within schedule. We serve as a technical and managerial interface between the shipowner, shipyard, classification society, and subcontractors throughout the entire docking lifecycle. Our expertise covers both scheduled maintenance drydockings and urgent repair dockings, enabling ship operators to minimize downtime while achieving full compliance with class and flag requirements.

Once the docking schedule is confirmed, Demap assigns a dedicated coordinator to manage the project on-site. This person acts as the shipowner’s representative, ensuring that the shipyard follows the agreed plan and timeline. We track job progress, verify material availability, approve change orders, and resolve emerging technical issues in real time. Our proactive approach helps avoid costly delays and scope creep.

We coordinate all drydock inspections, including underwater hull surveys, sea chest examinations, propeller polishing, rudder clearances, and tail shaft withdrawals. Our team works closely with class surveyors and third-party inspectors to schedule and document each milestone. When non-conformities arise, we initiate corrective actions quickly and communicate transparently with stakeholders.

Demap also manages procurement and logistics for spares, paints, consumables, and subcontracted services such as NDT, steel cutting, or engine room cleaning. We provide daily and weekly progress reports, cost tracking dashboards, and photographic documentation. Our QA/QC protocols ensure that every job item is signed off only after inspection and compliance verification.

Effective docking coordination requires both technical competence and strong project management skills. At Demap Teknik Makina, we combine both to provide full-circle docking services that protect your investment and maximize ship availability. Whether you operate a container vessel, tanker, bulk carrier, or offshore unit, our team will ensure your drydocking project is completed with precision, transparency, and on-time delivery.
