Dry docking is a pivotal phase in a ship’s lifecycle, offering an essential opportunity for maintenance, repair, and survey that cannot be performed while afloat. The process, however, is complex and fraught with potential hazards. The safety and efficiency of dry docking hinges on the collective diligence, expertise, and cooperation of the ship’s staff. This chapter outlines the key duties and responsibilities assigned to the ship’s officers and crew throughout the dry docking operation, from initial preparations to undocking and return to service.
