ship repairs

Fixing a vessel

Ship repairs are maintenance and restoration work done on vessels to keep them seaworthy.

This includes fixing structural damage, overhauling engines, replacing worn equipment, and addressing wear from saltwater and weather.

Ships undergo repairs at dry docks or shipyards: The freighter was in port for ship repairs after the storm.
