Prepare dry dock for inspection at least one work day prior to the proposed docking. Notify and accomplish an inspection of the blocking with the GDO in a timeframe sufficient to make blocking changes. Develop documentation of the inspection showing blocking, sighting marks on dock coping relative to block locations, spacing, offsets, heights, and shaping to the GDO at least 4 hours prior to flooding the dry dock. Immediately prior to flooding the dry dock, perform a final inspection with the GDO to ensure that no loose trash, wood, equipment, and other extraneous matter could float up during flooding and interfere with/delay the docking operation.

3.1.7 Docking Conference: Perform a docking conference attended by the GDO, ABS Surveyor, COR, the Contractor’s Dock Master, the pilot who will be present during the docking evolution, and required dive personnel, within 4 working days prior to the scheduled docking of the vessel. The Dock Master shall discuss the time of docking, tide situation, weather conditions, tug and pilot arrangements, line handling, electrical shore power, grounding, safety issues, safety concerns, other services and procedures.

3.1.8 Docking the Vessel: Dry dock the vessel without strain.

Minimum clearance shall be 12 inches for bringing the vessel into or out of dock and performing any work inside the dock.

Relocation of the vessel shall occur after the proper cure time has elapsed after application of the final coat of hull preservation.

3.1.11 Undocking the Vessel: After completion of work, undock the vessel at a time and date agreed upon by the GDO and the Contractor. Perform an undocking conference similar to the Docking Conference of 3.1.7 within 3 days of undocking. Immediately prior to flooding the dry dock, perform an inspection with the GDO to ensure that no loose trash, wood, equipment, and other extraneous matter could float up during flooding and interfere with/delay the undocking operation.

3.1.11.1 Immediately after the hull penetrations are submerged and before the vessel lifts off the blocks-- stop flooding the dry dock. Accomplish a watertight integrity check of the hull with the COR. Continue flooding of the dock when directed by the GDO.

3.1.11.2 After the vessel has cleared the blocks, perform a visual inspection of the underwater hull surfaces to ensure that no soft caps are adhered to the hull surfaces. Perform a visual inspection of the docking blocks to account for all soft caps and to ensure that no blocks are adhered to the underwater hull structure of the vessel.

3.1.11 Docking Observer: The Docking Observer is the Government official certified by the Government as qualified to execute the duties of a Docking Observer. The presence of the Docking Observer is for protecting the Navy’s interests, not to give direction to the Contractor. However, the Docking Observer shall have the authority to stop the docking, undocking or launching evolution when the vessel safety or other Navy interests are jeopardized. This authority does not imply limitations on or responsibility for the actions of the Contractor’s Dock Master.

3.1.12 Final Docking Report: Develop a final docking report (NAVSEA 9997/1 through 9997/5) upon completion of undocking. Electronic versions of the final docking report, in portable document format (PDF) and MSWord format are available from the GDO upon request. (CDRL A014)
