Efficient, Compliant, and Seamless Vessel Maintenance

Dry docking is a critical part of maintaining a vessel’s structural integrity and seaworthiness. At SME Engineering, we offer comprehensive dry docking services tailored to commercial, industrial, and specialist vessels. Our team works closely with clients to schedule maintenance periods that minimise downtime while ensuring that all aspects of the vessel are assessed and maintained to the highest standards.

Our dry docking process includes hull cleaning, thickness gauging, propeller inspections, rudder checks, underwater fittings examination, cathodic protection replacement, and painting or coating as required.
