Ship Repair
All ships need maintenance and repairs. Many repair and maintanance operations can be performed at sea or by the crew in port. Complicated or large-scale repairs might require the ship to be removed from commercial operation. Classification Society supervision is required for most large-scale repairs, particularly those carried out in a ship repair yard. For oceangoing ships, particularly tankers, the ship has to be prepared for repair at a Deballasting Station. The tank must be thoroughly cleaned and its slops (grey water and hydrocarbon residues) must be pumped ashore according to environmental regulations.

The maritime industry, a cornerstone of global trade, is undergoing a significant transformation through the adoption of digitalization and smart shipping technologies. As the industry navigates the challenges of efficiency, sustainability, and safety, digital solutions are emerging as key drivers of change. From enhanced operational efficiency to real-time data analytics, digitalization is revolutionizing how ships and ports operate, paving the way for a smarter, more connected maritime future.
The maritime industry, a crucial pillar of global trade, has always grappled with the challenge of piracy.
