Marine technology company Alfa Laval UK has enhanced its dry-docking support services for shipowners, introducing pre-docking audits and customized spare parts packages designed to reduce turnaround times and extend fleet uptime.
The initiative is part of the company’s strategy to turn dry-docking, typically seen as a cost burden, into a performance opportunity through better planning and tailored maintenance support.
A key feature of the new service is condition auditing carried out up to six months before dry-docking.
“By auditing systems months before docking, we can spot issues early, plan ahead, and prevent costly surprises,” said Ezgi Sezen, UK Marine Services Manager.
Each audit will assess equipment condition and identify maintenance needs, from corrosion checks to potential upgrades, allowing Alfa Laval to prepare engineering services, logistics and spare parts several months in advance.
The company’s tailored spare parts offering includes both customer-specific lists and pre-defined maintenance kits in three levels – Basic, Standard and Plus – depending on operational requirements and port schedules.
“With the right parts and expertise in place and ready the moment a ship docks, that planning can turn time saved into operational revenue advantage for shipowners,” Sezen added.
The upgraded service builds on Alfa Laval UK’s $33.4
