Shipyard in a box

Efficiency and reduced downtime

Pre-packaged solutions:

A Shipyard in a Box typically includes all necessary tools, equipment, and expertise in a ready-to-deploy format. This minimizes time spent on setup and mobilization.

Streamlined operations:

By having a modular and self-contained system, the approach reduces logistical delays, enabling quicker project turnaround and minimal disruption to rig schedules.

Flexibility and customization

Container selection and utilisation:

Containers are selected based on the project's specific needs. For offshore projects, storage, workshop, and supply containers are used. These containers can also support onshore projects by providing facilities not available on-site. Utilising the yard's facilities whenever possible is beneficial for both parties due to cost and accessibility.

Essential stock containers:

The only containers that are consistently brought along are those containing various stocks. These hold the essential spare parts needed for the different trades working on the MODU or vessel during the upgrade.

Improved quality control

Dedicated team:
The approach often comes with a multiskilled and focused team of technicians and engineers who are fully aligned with the project's goals.

Specialized equipment:
It includes tools and machinery that are specific to the requirements of the rig, ensuring precision and high-quality results.

Minimized environmental impact

Minimizing environmental impact:
Keeping operations close to project sites or quaysides helps minimize environmental impact by reducing fuel consumption for long-distance movements of MODUs and Vessels owners.

Waste management compliance:
Once a site is selected, Semco Maritime and its partners will establish waste management systems in full compliance with local regulations.

Strategic independence

Reduced dependency:
By minimizing reliance on large, established shipyards, MODU or Vessels owners and managers can mitigate risks associated with external delays, resource shortages, and regional constraints.

Enhanced control:
Owners and managers gain greater oversight of project timelines, costs, and resource allocation, ensuring greater efficiency, flexibility, and adaptability.
