                                 Drydocking and Repairs

   Ships need drydocking in a number of cases: sea growth (fouling); damage to the
   ship’s hull, propeller or rudder (as the result from stranding or collision). There are
   several methods of drydocking: a marine railway, a floating drydock, a graving
   dock.
      In foreign ports arrangements for drydocking a ship, negotiations with
   dockmasters, engineers, port and other authorities are usually carried out through the
   ship’s agent. However, the captain, his chief mate and the chief engineer should
   always take an active part in all mate and the chief engineer should always take an
   active part in all the negotiations.
      In preparing a dock to receive a vessel the dockmaster first refers to the ship’s
   docking plan. While being docked, the engineers should examine the stern tube,
   propeller, injection valves and sea connection. If necessary the ship’s bottom should
   be cleaned and coated with anticorrosive and antifouling paints.
      The length of time a ship remains in dock must be reduced to a minimum both to
   avoid unnecessary expense and because the dock will be urgently needed for other
   ships.
      If there is breakage of machinery the ship needs repairing. Minor and small
   repairs are usually effected on board the ship by the engine-room staff under the
   supervision of the chief or the second engineers. But if the machinery needs big
   repair the ship is placed in a shipyard. The representatives of some local repair shop
   or shipyard are invited on board the ship and the chief engineer must explain to
   them all the particulars of the work to be done.
