During last year, our Under Water Services (UWS) department have received many enquiries for IWS from Container vessels and Gas carriers of five years old, that get extended dry docking (EDD) at their first Special Survey.
This practically means that instead for the vessel to do the Special Survey in Drydock in 5 years, it takes extension of 2.5 years with an in-water survey (IWS) and goes to 7.5 years, provided that specific requirements have been met.
