This publication is a comprehensive guide to best practice when placing a ship into lay-up. It explains the concept of lay-up and risk assesses lay-up proposals. Section 5 is supported by preparation and handover checklists, making the book a handy point of reference to any ship owner/manager considering lay-up operations.
Fully illustrated and including numerous real world examples, this guide explains why a ship is placed into lay-up and the types of lay-up that exist (hot, warm, cold, and long term). It also provides the reader with information on appraisal, procedures at the lay-up site and reactivation. It contains a chapter detailing lay-up locations across the world and covers all types of ships, including cargo and passenger (cruise) ships.
This guide is intended to provide general best practice advice for ship owners/managers, on placing a ship into lay-up. It is not intended to be a lay-up plan as this should be developed by the ship owner/manager for each specific ship, taking into consideration the recommendations and requirements of all interested parties.
?
Where a ship is anchored or berthed alongside awaiting orders, with manning levels in compliance with the safe manning document and with all engines and machinery available for use, it is not regarded as being laid up and the ship’s status with Class, P&I or hull and machinery insurance is unchanged.
