Type of layup service:

Hot Layup

Ship Hot Lay-Up is a type of layup where the ship is not operating (out of service), but the engines can still operate and can still be mobilized, by complying with the requirements of the flag state & classification body. Usually this type of layup has a shorter de-active period, namely less than 12 months, where it is moored in a safe harbor location. Usually ships are located near potential cargo trade routes.

Cold Layup

Ship Cold Lay-Up is a type of layup where the ship is not operating (out of service), where the ship's systems and engines are not operated (only generators and important equipment may be turned on). The duration of this type of cold layup has a longer ship deactive period compared to hot layup, which is usually more than 12 months to several years. In this type of lay-up, the ship is moored at a remote location or safe harbor, so access to the ship may be limited.
