Planning and managing a drydocking is very different from a superintendent’s daily work, which typically consists of juggling a myriad of urgent issues. A drydocking is a specific task conducted over a concentrated timeframe and requires a different project-based approach. This course will enable the participants to plan and manage such major projects, including how to handle the risks.
This three-day practical course starts with an introduction to drydocking as well as general project management topics. It then takes participants through the entire practical process from the planning and pre-arrival stages to the actual docking and repair. The course ends with the oft neglected task of capturing the knowledge and data generated in a post-docking report.
When things go wrong during a docking project the cause always lies with poor planning, which opens the door to technical surprises. This course therefore covers such potential surprises in detail. Designed in close co-operation with many shipping companies, and drawing on many years of practical experience, the course is highly interactive and encourages a lively exchange of ideas and experiences for the mutual benefit of all attendees.
