Proper preparation of LNG carriers for dry docking is essential to ensure safety, maintain operational efficiency, and comply with regulatory requirements. This process involves several critical steps such as stripping, warm-up, gas freeing, inerting, and aeration, each of which must be carefully executed to prevent hazards and preserve the integrity of the cargo tanks.
Continuous monitoring of key tank conditions (temperature, pressure, and gas composition) is crucial throughout. A clear understanding of these procedures and controls by all crew members is vital to support safe and effective inspection and maintenance activities during dry docking.
