NECESSARY REPAIR AND DAMAGE SURVEY
The cargo vessels operate in various parts of World Ocean far away from native shores. In case of emergency when some machinery fails the vessels call at foreign port for emergency repair. The planned repair is usually carried out at the same shipyard where the vessel has been built before. As soon as the hull works are completed the ship-owner sends their representatives to supervise installation machinery and equipment. The ship's engineers also take part in the repair process. They discuss the list of repairs with the shipyard's representatives, verify the scope of the work, supervise and check up the repair process. On completion the delivery trials are carried out, the protocol of delivery is made out and the ship is ready for service again.
ASWER THE QUESTIONS: 1. What should the vessel do in case of emergency? 2. Where is planned repair usually carried out? 3. What is the duty of ship-owner representatives? 3. Do ships engineers take part in the repair process? 4. What actions do they perform? 5. When is the ship ready for service again?
