There are various reasons for laying up a vessel, mainly to reduce cost. When the market situation is challenging, laying-up vessels for a shorter or longer period may become an alternative. Yet, at the same time, it is vital that your vessel is kept safe and maintained while being ready for operation whenever needed. We are following the industry best Lay-up Guidelines for the safe and cost-efficient layup of vessels. We support vessel owners in various issues regarding laying-up of a vessel, such as hot or cold layup, location, mooring arrangements, class, insurance, manning, maintenance, and inspection.
Ceyline Maritime offers a systematic approach to preparing ships for a layup and maintaining the ships safely and cost-effectively during layup. The entire process for a layup is divided into three main activities: deactivation, layup, and reactivation.
Deactivation
- Installment of proper deactivation equipment and systems
- Relevant spaces sealed off and dehumidifying machines installed
- Watertight blanking of underwater openings
- Demonstration of various emergency equipment
- Our team is available to assist in the deactivation of machinery
Lay-up
- Periodic inspections (regular testing, inspection, turning, and routine operation)
- Continuous preservation
- Recording all actions in log / monthly report
- Service and necessary repairs
- Continuous monitoring by our staff on board
- 24×7 staffed base office
Reactivation
- Ship staff to join in phases and reactivate vessel
- Demobilization of equipment
- Generator demobilization
- Unblanking of watertight blanks
- For cold layup, reactivation is 7-14 days
- Our team can also assist with the reactivation
