Riding Squads & Voyage Repairs

Riding squads and voyage repair teams travel aboard a vessel to carry out steel repairs and maintenance work while she continues trading between ports, rather than the vessel visiting a repair yard. Typical work covers structural steel renewal, tank coating touch-up and repair, and general maintenance tasks carried out over one or more voyage legs by a team that boards at one port and disembarks at a later one.

This is mobile repair carried out at sea and in port during normal trading, distinct from the afloat repair work carried out by a yard's own workforce alongside the berth, and from the planned overhaul work scheduled around a dry-dock. Riding squads are typically engaged where a defect can be worked on progressively without taking the vessel out of service, and owners avoid the schedule disruption and cost of a dedicated repair or dry-dock period. Buyers compare providers on team competence, safe working practice at sea, and the ability to complete work within the voyage available.
