What does happen when a Passenger vessel goes to Dry Dock?
Hello Friends!
Sorry for the blurry photo the hands of my friend were shaking
Today I will write a few words about the normal jobs in a dry dock for passenger vessels.
In the life of each type of vessel comes a time when it must be taken to the doctor ...and in our case we take it to dry dock.
In dry dock many different jobs are being carried out such as:
- tank jobs (checking and entering in enclosed spaces)
- pipe fixing and/or replacing
- replacing old equipment
- fixing anything that is broken
Even if the vessel is in dry dock drills are still mandatory such as general drills when you lower the boat, because many new people come on board.
Here you can see the chaos of many people gathering for a general drill. All the people in this photo are crew for repairs from sailors, riding crew to project people and tank teams and of course electricians .
All these people are good in one specific job that is necessary in this dry dock. The work is hard and ...almost all the time the pay is low but I started to respect many of them...because all the jobs are dangerous in this environment .
With respect I am Cynetyc and I will end my message here ! See you next time!
Thank you for posting @cynetyc.
What an interesting look behind the scenes.
Appreciate the details and photographs.
There is always the unseen......that keeps things in working order.
God does that...too.
Good to see you posting again.....these Sea Notes are interesting.....well done.
All the best to you. Cheers.
You are right @bleujay God does that too!
It would be a dream come true if I just sneak a peek behind the scenes and see what God is making.

PS: Scuze pentru raspunsul intarziat , sunt pe mare si nu am internet tot timpul dar cand am imi verific mesajele de pe Steemit!
Poate suna cliseic sa spun "stiu cum e", dar sper sa ramana un secret:)). Stiu cum e... Placut totusi, zile de povestit la nepoti.
Thanks for sharing these photos, the passenger vessel looks huge in the first photo and it must be really impressive to see it in real life like that
For how long are vessels like this one kept in dry docks for maintenance and repairs ?
Thanks very much @helios for your kind words!
On this vessel we stayed about 20 days in dry dock.
