Ship lay-up Guide for Shipowners

(www.MaritimeCyprus.com) This guide has been produced to help shipowners prepare their ships for lay-up and maintain them in a safe and cost-effective condition when they are out of service.

The lay-up condition you choose will be determined by a combination of technical and commercial factors, including:

• the time the vessel will be in lay-up condition
• the time that will be needed to reactivate the vessel
• the need to reduce overhead running costs
• the relocation of the vessel to its next intended destination, and
• the age of the vessel and its scrap value.
