Safe Operation and Maintenance of Dry Dock Facilities is the first manual of practice to provide guidance for the operation of four main types of dry dock facilities: floating dry docks, graving docks, marine railways, and vertical lifts. Until now, some of these facilities have been operated and maintained without a thorough understanding of the design of their dry dock, and therefore the features that are vital to the safe operation of the facility. This manual is intended for commercial entities that operate one of the four dry docks discussed in this book. It will provide a cost-effective program for maintaining and operating a safe dry dock facility. This book examines in depth the four activities necessary to achieving this which include: condition assessment, maintenance, control inspection, and dock operations.
