干船坞设施的安全操作和维护是第一本实践手册，为四种主要类型的干船坞设施的操作提供指导:浮式干船坞、雕刻船坞、海上铁路和垂直升降机。到目前为止，其中一些设施的运行和维护还没有完全了解其干船坞的设计，因此对设施的安全运行至关重要。本手册适用于经营本书中讨论的四个干船坞之一的商业实体。 它将为维护和运营安全干船坞设施提供一个成本效益高的计划。本书深入探讨了实现这一目标所需的四项活动，包括:状态评估、维护、控制检查和码头操作。

Safe Operation and Maintenance of Dry Dock Facilities is the first manual of practice to provide guidance for the operation of four main types of dry dock facilities: floating dry docks, graving docks, marine railways, and vertical lifts. Until now, some of these facilities have been operated and maintained without a thorough understanding of the design of their dry dock, and therefore the features that are vital to the safe operation of the facility. This manual is intended for commercial entities that operate one of the four dry docks discussed in this book. It will provide a cost-effective program for maintaining and operating a safe dry dock facility. This book examines in depth the four activities necessary to achieving this which include: condition assessment, maintenance, control inspection, and dock operations.
