Bardex have developed a shiplift solution that could be applicable to the plan to build floating dry docks for submarines at Faslane (Project EUSTON). The floating OmniDock uses a chain lift to raise the vessel out of the water. It can be used as a standalone dock or the...

What's the benefit over a dry dock?

Looks interesting.

So raising & lowering a platform within the confines of the overall dock. Thats regenerating many of the current issues.

Surely the late Sir Ken Adam solved all these issues decades ago.

@thinkdefence you’ll love this, chains and docks

One with crash mats that cover the length of vessel and both cranes out of maintenance when a vessel is inside it would be preferred 👍🏻

These won’t work.

@grok What if submarines could be serviced like cars in a drive-through? Bardex's floating dock technology might make underwater maintenance as routine as an oil change - but is this the future of naval operations or just expensive engineering theater?

Welcome to Dubai, where we are currently witnessing one of the most complex maneuvers in the maritime world: the drydocking of a massive LNG carrier. This isn't a simple parking job; it is a high-stakes industrial operation that requires weeks of preparation before the ship even touches the dock. The most critical step is ensuring the vessel is completely gas-free. Since we are dealing with Liquefied Natural Gas, every tank must be stripped, purged, and ventilated until the atmosphere is 100% safe for hot work like welding and grinding. In our industry, we don't move an inch until the sensors confirm there are zero explosive vapors left on board. Once the ship is safely positioned and the dock is pumped dry, the vessel begins a grueling 30-day transformation. For an entire month, the ship is a hive of 24/7 activity. We start by hydro-blasting the hull to remove years of biofouling, followed by several layers of specialized anti-fouling paint to ensure the ship remains fuel-efficient. Simultaneously, the engineering teams focus on the propulsion system, polishing the propeller to a mirror finish and inspecting the rudder and tail shaft for any signs of wear. Below the waterline, every sea chest and valve is opened and overhauled to ensure the ship’s cooling systems are in peak condition. This one-month stay in the yard is a marathon of precision and labor, but it is the only way to ensure a floating city of this scale can operate safely for the next five years. From the tip of the bulbous bow to the edge of the rudder, every square inch of the vessel is scrutinized. This isn't just routine maintenance; it is a total rebirth that ensures the backbone of global energy continues to move safely across the world's oceans.
