Ship repair

Afloat, dockside, emergency and voyage repairs — crews mobilised to the vessel rather than the vessel routed to a dock.

Most repair work does not need a drydock. A large share of what actually stops a vessel — wasted plate, a leaking spool, a failed pump, cracked structure in a ballast tank — can be executed alongside or at anchorage with the right crew, the right procedure and the right permits, while the vessel keeps her schedule.

Corvaden mobilises that crew. A project engineer, repair foreman, qualified welders, fitters and safety cover travel to the vessel with the equipment and consumables the scope requires.

Where a docking genuinely is required, Corvaden arranges it through partner yards and supervises the work on the owner’s behalf. Corvaden owns no dock capacity of its own.
