Buying a vessel can be a profitable investment. It is a serious decision, but it can pay off itself many times through the years. But – it is crucial to recognize that buying is not the end of the investment.
The main task is ensuring that the ship is in top condition. Routine maintenance and overhauls mean that ship is safe to use. Good ship maintenance also allows prolonging its longevity.
Maintaining a ship is a complicated and multidimensional process. A ship is very complex, and the owner needs to know that every small part of the machinery is in good condition. It demands overhauls, repairs, but also cleaning.
The essential task of ship maintenance is to ensure that all the mechanical systems work smoothly and that it is safe and effective to use the ship.
Ship maintenance is an investment, and it can pay off. Keeping the ship always in top condition:
- keeps its value in case of reselling,
- ensure that it is safe to use and provide no danger to ship crew,
- enhance ship’s longevity,
- helps avoid most accidents and emergencies (which are dangerous and far more expensive than regular maintenance),
- make sure that a ship is working with optimal effectiveness,
- reduce the cost of ship-protection insurance,
- diminish the need for repairs and parts replacement.
