03 · Riding squads
Repairs that don’t wait for the next port
A riding repair squad is a certified team that boards the vessel at anchor or en route, so work is done while the ship stays on schedule. Nanak Ship Management supplies squads drawn from its pool of electricians, welders and fitters.
Squad size and trades are matched to the job, with travel and joining arranged by the same desk.

FAQ
Questions we are asked most
Dry-dock superintendence means a technical superintendent represents the owner at the yard: agreeing the repair specification, monitoring work quality, controlling variations and signing off completion. Nanak Ship Management lists it as a standalone service on its services page.
A riding repair squad is a team of certified technicians who board a vessel and carry out repairs while it is at anchor or on passage, avoiding a separate yard call. Nanak Ship Management supplies such squads; the services overview gives the scope.
Yes. Riding squads can join a vessel at anchor or en route, depending on port access and permissions, which keeps downtime short. Share the vessel position, the work required and the timing with the operations desk so the squad and travel can be planned.
Certified electricians, welders qualified in 6G, TIG and MIG, structural fitters and skilled helpers are available through Nanak’s international labour supply service and can form the core of a repair squad for hull, pipework and electrical jobs.
Plan as early as the vessel’s Class survey window allows, because specification, yard slot and spares all need lead time. A technical audit at the start of management helps fix the date. The technical management team can build the drydocking plan with you.
Call +91 98920 82041 or use WhatsApp with the vessel name, position, the defect and the trades needed. The 24/7 dispatch desk at Nanak Ship Management routes urgent requests to a superintendent so a squad and spares can be arranged quickly.
