02 / Refit

Refit periods planned from the crew side and delivered on the yard floor

Refits at MB92 Barcelona, Lürssen Vegesack, Blohm+Voss Hamburg and La Ciotat, as Chief ETO of the vessels being refitted. The person who wrote the work list, held the scope with the yard and took responsibility for the results afterwards.

What I do in a refit

R.01Work list & scopingCondition survey of the existing installation and a work list that separates what must be done from what the yard would like to sell.
R.02Yard liaison & scope controlTechnical counterpart to the yard’s project team: specifications, variations and the decisions that keep the period on programme.
R.03Supervision of electrical packagesInstallation quality on switchgear, distribution, lighting and AV/IT works, with the crew’s maintenance access kept in mind.
R.04Recommissioning & surveySystems tested and returned to service; class and flag surveys prepared for and closed out during the period.
R.05In-service upgradesImprovements that don’t need a yard: lighting-control databases, power-management tuning, network and AV/IT changes done alongside normal operation.
