Ocean Grow works through each item with you — the scope of work and deliverables are set out below.
Ocean Grow provides engineering and technical consultancy together with drydock arrangement support — from repair specification and shipyard selection through to work supervision — helping owners make effective use of time and budget while ensuring repair quality meets survey requirements.
Technical and Drydocking Services
Drydocking and classification surveys are scheduled at the right time and place in line with Docking Survey requirements and the vessel's trading pattern, with cost control and quality assurance throughout.
Drydock Planning
Docking and classification surveys are arranged at the appropriate time and location in line with Docking Survey requirements and the vessel's schedule, making effective use of time and budget and reducing the owner's cost exposure.
Vessel Inspection
Regular onboard inspections of hull, equipment and crew operations confirm that the vessel is operated in accordance with international conventions, reducing incidents and the risk of Port State Control detention.
Sale & Purchase Survey
We identify suitable tonnage in the sale and purchase market according to the owner's requirements, and use pre-purchase inspection to assess the vessel's value and the expenditure required before it enters service.
Regulatory Services
We brief owners on the latest international conventions and flag state regulations, clarify their application, and assist in developing plans to meet the requirements.
Technical Support
We provide technical support for the maintenance and repair of shipboard equipment and machinery, and establish maintenance plans in line with makers' specifications and classification society requirements.
