Next, the ship repairing company will tell you about several issues that should be paid attention to when repairing scheduled ships: Several issues that should be paid attention to during repairing scheduled ships

(1) Repair costs vary greatly depending on the content of the repair

It is extremely important to arrange repairs and control repair items reasonably. In the past, some shipping companies used ship repair and maintenance to accumulate many repairs and leave them to be repaired together after they enter the factory. This not only prolongs the repair time, but also increases the repair cost. Many shipowners now try to control the items that need to be repaired in the factory to a small extent. When some items need to be repaired, the ship is not simply sent to the shipyard for repairs, but first is whether it is possible to adopt various more flexible and economical methods, such as temporarily increasing the crew for repairs on board the ship; temporarily at the port Hire repair workers; hire experts to guide the ship, etc. Although this will also increase some repair costs, there are still great savings compared to repairs in the factory, especially if these methods are used to not shorten the ship’s operating time.

(2) The choice of ship repair yard should be determined by comparison

This comparison should include the level of the repair fee, the quality of the repair, the voyage of the ship to and from the repair site, and the possibility of obtaining cargo before and after entering the factory. Some companies stipulate that all major plant repairs of their ships should be returned to their home bases, which is not necessarily beneficial in fact. Although the ship returning to the base for repairs can reduce foreign exchange expenditures, it may also cause ship schedule losses. Generally speaking, unless there are obvious differences in ship repair quality, time and cost, it is more appropriate for the ship to choose a repair location nearby.

(3) Repair time directly affects the operating efficiency of ships

The length of the repair period directly affects the operating days of the ship, thereby affecting the economic benefits of the enterprise. In order to shorten the ship repair cycle, the ship owner should submit the repair work order to the ship repair yard in advance to prepare materials and formulate a ship repair plan. In order to avoid the hasty start of construction or additional engineering items in the repair process due to poor planning, resulting in rework and duplication, thereby extending the repair cycle, the ship owner can also invite the factory to send personnel to follow the ship in advance. According to the repair project proposed by the ship, Conduct site inspections during the voyage, and then discuss repair plans together.

In addition, sometimes due to some reasons, such as in order to avoid the excessive task load of the shipyard in certain periods, or to meet the upcoming heavy transportation tasks, it is necessary to arrange in advance for some ships to enter and exit for repair.
