Abstract
In this paper, drydocking operations are scheduled in order to cope with the increasing number of on board maintenance (OBM) tasks. The critical path method (CPM) was applied to the dry docking schedule of a training ship. The following results were obtained: 1) the project scheduling techniques including PERT and CPM methods can be successfully applied to reduce the duration and manpower of docking operations; 2) spare and/or repair parts should be supplied according to the OBM schedule since increasingly, more jobs are going to be carried out on board; and 3) the life-cycle cost concept has to be established in order to keep the ship cost-effective within the constraints specified by operational and maintenance requirements.
