For many, it is that time of year to schedule drydocks to conduct hull, tail shaft, and internal structure exams. To begin, you must prepare the vessel to be examined. We power wash and scrape the sea life that has caused us to lose a knot or two over the years. We open sea chests, disassemble the valves, open, and expose shell plating along with anything else that the Coast Guard marine inspectors want to see. Since this is a scheduled event, we need to be aware of all non-conformities in advance. These items must be disclosed to the inspection team along with a proposed plan of work. It is important that the inspector agrees with your work plan. We all know what lay days and change orders mean in terms of delays. Both need to be avoided. |
