This guide has been produced to help shipowners prepare their ships for lay-up and maintain them in a safe and cost-effective condition when they are out of service.
The lay-up condition you choose will be determined by a combination of technical and commercial factors, including:
-the time the vessel will be in lay-up condition
-the time that will be needed to reactivate the vessel
-the need to reduce overhead running costs
-the relocation of the vessel to its next intended destination, and
-the age of the vessel and its scrap value
You can download the Lay-up guide here.
