Leeships can provide full marine repairs and supervision services:
Leeships offers consultancy services in refit and refurbishment, conversion and ship repairs and newbuilding.
Leeships represents a close network of pre-vetted shipyards and works directly with a wider pool of shipyards, drydocks, and shipbuilders. Through established relationships with professional partners, Leeships ensures realistic savings are enjoyed by the shipowner or investor regardless of the size or scale of the project. These yards and their services are marketed under the Leeships / Leeyards brands. Leeships/Leeyards has an extensive list of successfully contracted dry-dockings that spans across all type of vessels, from high-tech LNGs to vintage Bulkers. The key point of success is based on an evenly distributed effort in targeting project requirements, proper field preparation and post-fixture close follow up throughout project development.

Pre-yard/pre-docking inspections
Budgetary planning for drydocking, repairs, conversions or maintenance

Layup services
The allocation of a shipyard is undertaken by the ship management team after the three shipyards are given a full specification of repairs or works for a particular vessel. The costs and time of the nominated shipyard are assessed to complete the dry docking of the vessel as laid out in the dry dock specification. The three individual shipyards quotations are placed in a spreadsheet and assessed and compared for costs and time to complete the dry docking of a particular vessel which is sent to the Ship Owner and lodged within the cloud-based maintenance system.
The dry docking of a vessel needs forethought, planning, good logistics to maintain the vessel to the highest and safest standards for an operational vessel. Experience in marine engineering comes with time. We have in the house many first class engineers who have undertaken many successful dry docking for Ship Owners. We offer care and proficiency in dry docking that leads to safe and cost-effective dry dockings.

No two projects are the same, for example one off projects, like the fitting of a large nitrogen plant into an existing vessel, needs careful planning to gauge variables and expensive pitfalls inherent with such an undertaking. We have within our team the proven expertise and track record to carry out to carry out such projects on time and within budget.
