Dry dock services
When your vessel is in dry dock, it’s the perfect time for preventive maintenance, overhauls or upgrades. But the time to plan for dry dock is some months before. Alfa Laval Marine Service can help you prepare, so that you can get more from your dry dock stay. With our dry dock services, you can be ready when the vessel arrives – and leave dry dock optimized for the long period at sea to follow.
Pre-inspect before dry docking
Time in dry dock is limited. By knowing what’s needed, you can achieve more in the time you have. Get in touch 4–6 months in advance, so that we can pre-inspect your critical equipment and plan together for the right actions in dry dock.
