DRY DOCKING ARRANGEMENTS Clause Samples

DRY DOCKING ARRANGEMENTS. Dry docking is a routine part of maintaining and operating a fleet of vessels. This provides the opportunity to undertake maintenance on the thrusters, propellers and ▇▇▇▇▇ seal as well as vessel anti-roll stabilisers. It provides access to the underwater sections of the vessel, including train shaft, propellers, stabilisers, sea chests and bow thrusters, rudders and other parts that are immersed in water and are normally inaccessible during normal sailing periods. Inspection and cleaning of hull coating determines its effectiveness in reducing drag, which has a significant effect on the service speed and fuel efficiency, as well as effectively preventing hull wastage – rust or corrosion. An example of our application of paint coatings to reduce energy consumption is shown in the case study below. Case Study Intersleek underwater paint coatings of RoPax vessels to improve efficiency We applied Intersleek underwater paint coating to the RoPax vessels under CMAL ownership in 2012 and again in 2019. As part of continuous vessel maintenance, we applied paint to the propellers, and through inspection and cleaning have maintained improved efficiency between dry dockings as described in 4.4.1.1. This process has assisted in reducing the energy consumption of the vessels. • Serco has approached the dry docking of vessels with the objective of minimising the impact of disruption on the service by reducing the time off service. Our approach was to seek a better overall solution that met our quality requirements, supported work in Scotland and would reduce sailing times to and from dock Redacted We are still in negotiations with other sub-contracted dry docking companies to agree further efficiencies. These negotiations will be included in the mobilisation period of the new contr act. Redacted Because of the age and type of the vessels (Passenger) currently in the fleet, dry dockings are currently undertaken annually. If appropriate, in-water inspections will be undertaken to ensure that no anomalies exist that could impact on the future viability of the vessels’ capability to deliver a reliable service. We will agree the dry docking programme with TS in advance, ensuring it reflects feedback from key stakeholders. This is particularly important to freight customers who depend on continuity of service and advanced notice of service availability, enabling them to work with their own customer supply chains in planning for reduced services. The process for dry docking i...

DRY DOCKING ARRANGEMENTS. The parties agree that during any docking or lay-up, the following additional provisions will apply:- (a) If the docking/lay-up is within Australia, Singapore or an OECD country and the vessel maintains its own fire-alarm fire-fighting and emergency-teams in-place then AIMPE agrees that members may be accommodated on board the vessel so long as all on-board ‘hotel- services’ (including Galley/air-conditioning/toilets etc) are maintained and neither fumes/painting/noise are (in the general opinion of the majority of members) unpleasant or disturbing. (b) In the case of a docking/lay-up in any other circumstance then members will not be accommodated on board the vessel, but will be provided with Hotel accommodation ashore no less than Australian ‘three star’ standard, on a bed & breakfast & Laundry/ironing/dry-cleaning basis with a daily allowance at least sufficient to cover other meals and incidentals. (c) recognising that the Occupational Health and Safety (Maritime Industry) Act 1993 does not apply whilst the vessel is handed over to control of any contractor/shipyard, and that where the work is taking place in a foreign port AMSA, as the Inspectorate, are not in a position to intervene in any safety matter, and recognising that in this circumstance the vessel’s SMS/work-practices are set aside in favour of foreign workers applying whatever safety standards/rigour apply in that country/shipyard, the parties agree as follows:- • before any Docking or Lay-up the Company will write to the employees covered by this Agreement setting out the date and location of the docking/lay-up, the scope of work the manner of utilising ship-staff and ensuring their safety on the job and the intentions regarding accommodation onboard or ashore; and • If required the company will arrange a meeting between the employees or the employees’ representative if one is appointed, and the Company to clarify any issues and reach agreement. • that in any alleged safety-issue arising during a docking/layup outside of Australia will at first instance be dealt with by the Chief Engineer or other Company representatives on- board but if not dealt with to the employee’s satisfaction he/she shall make an immediate written protest simultaneously to the Company and the employee’s representative if one is appointed and it is agreed that until the matter is resolved between the Company and the employee or their representative if one is appointed, the employee will not be exposed to the alleged ...
