Fully illustrated, with numerous real-world examples, this guide explains why a ship is placed into lay-up and the types of lay-up (hot, warm, cold, and long-term), as well as providing the reader with information on appraisal, planning, procedures at the lay-up site and reactivation.

  • planning and preparation
  • passage to the lay-up location
  • checklist for all operational stages of a layup
  • during lay-up (including periodic maintenance and lay-up records)
  • reactivation.
