Lay up management is essential for handling the wide range of technical and financial issues that arise when taking vessels out of service for a period of time. 

Successful lay-up management should be measured as a best possible combination of:

• Complete evaluation of the lay-up site towards weather conditions, mooring arrangement and security
• Assessment of the lay-up manager and the services it provides
• Evaluation of the lay-up procedures whether in compliance with Class and Insurance guidelines
• Complete assessment of applicable equipment maintenance and scope
• Availability of dehumification options
• Lay up declaration, preservation declaration, green lay up declaration - whether above certification possible?
• Available of ship reactivation options when lay up period is over
