EVENT DESCRIPTION
Shipyards should take advantage of the technological advances that avail themselves to this industry. In recent years there have been several exciting developments that show great promise to improve the speed, safety, reliability, and costs of drydocking techniques.
The latest innovations available allows shipyards to be more competitive in the maritime industry. By comparison, frenzied adoption of modern technologies has permeated nearly all industries in this modern age, but one industry that remains relatively unchanged by new advances is the drydocking industry. In drydocking, vessels are handled and supported out of the water, which puts the vessel at risk for damage. This is a large liability; and so changing procedures, or testing new supports is undertaking a lot at risk. Shipyards will forgo these changes for the more familiar options, which hinders dry dock and drydocking technological advancements, leaving the drydocking industry with 20th century technology.
