Just seen this https://bdaily.co.uk/articles/2021/08/16/mjr-power-and-automation-announces-second-successful-project-delivery-for-world-leading-ferry-operator the skills learnt doing this might help with gaining similar work in the future.
Great post stokey12 - I see H&W are quoted - 'The replacement of the ballast control system is the second to be successfully delivered by MJR for Stena Line and was carried out on their Stena Hibernia vessel earlier this year whilst in dry dock at Harland and Wolff’s Belfast yard.'
stokey12,
The installation was carried out by MJR, not H&W - Belfast merely provided the garage space.
Good afternoon BP you seem to have a good knowledge of docks ?
Do you know how much it costs to put a ship into Dry dock per day ?
oldtramp,
I worked for a company that held the agency for several dry docks, although this was not my area, so I have absolutely no idea as to the costs involved in docking a vessel, sorry. The company subsequently dropped all yards, as there had been no money in the model for many years.
Thanks for the reply BP
Guess it is down to individual shipyards and size of ships. The reason i asked it would appear because of Covid a large backlog of dry docking has occurred with each ship having to dry dock every 5 years for a maritime " MOT" it should be a bit of a boom time for dry docks
Hi Oldtramp,
I imagine Belfast is highly inefficient for single ship dry dockings due to the sheer size.
Would be nice to get 2-4 docked at once, but of course that'd bring resource issues for us in terms of being able to work on several ships at once, and we'd still need to be able to turn them around as good as quickly as a single ship.
Certainly something that would be great to see though!
Thank you for the reply TheEast
Multiple dockings makes good sense to me as it seems quite a few subcontractors are involved so a strong possibility .
Guess we also have Appledore as another option.
Also agree it would be great to see.
