01 · Why PMS
A schedule is a promise kept
Planned maintenance puts every recurring job on a calendar by running hours or interval, and records it for Class. It is a core part of Nanak technical ship management.
- Jobs never rely on memory
- Records ready for surveys
- Spares ordered before jobs fall due

Specification
The superintendent builds the work list from planned maintenance history, open defects and Class requirements, so the yard prices a clear scope.
Watch point Is every defect and survey item in the specification before it goes out?
A general sequence for explanation only. Each drydocking is planned to its own vessel, yard and Class requirements.

Maintenance and docking questions
Open a line to read the answer.
A planned maintenance system schedules every recurring job on a vessel by running hours or calendar interval, so work is done on time and recorded for Class. It is a core part of the technical management service from Nanak Ship Management, and our board on this page shows how a schedule fills a year.
Drydocking starts with a specification built from maintenance history, defects and Class needs, followed by yard quotes, supervised docking, surveys and a close-out report. Nanak Ship Management lists dry-dock superintendence in its services overview, and our scrubber on this page walks through the phases.
Yes. Dry-dock superintendence is a published service of Nanak Ship Management, meaning an experienced marine professional represents the owner in the yard through the work. Details are on the Nanak services page, and you can ask how attendance is arranged for your vessel.
Often yes. Nanak Ship Management offers riding repair squads, certified teams that board at anchor or en route to carry out repairs without a yard visit. The services page describes the squads, and the team can advise what suits the defect.
Yes. The group supplies certified electricians, 6G, TIG and MIG welders, structural fitters and skilled helpers for yards and vessels. See the international labour supply service for trades, and share your headcount and dates to plan a squad.
Yes, as part of technical management the team reviews Class survey dates, hull condition and commercial plans to propose a docking window. Ask the Nanak Ship Management operations team for a view on your vessel, and we shape a specification to match it.
