The Commercial Decision
The choice is often tricky as keeping the vessel in a hot or warm stack is expensive. Still, by cold stacking, savings are made at the expense of a longer lead time to reactivate. But what happens if someone wants my vessel tomorrow?
Cost Effectiveness
Offering a new range of services means targeting exemplary service to our clients to meet and exceed their expectations. Below is an example of expected cost savings
Hot or Warm Stacking
MLS can provide a wharf or anchorage to meet your requirements. We have experience assisting operators in finding, booking and managing their lay-up projects worldwide. From when a vessel or rig arrives for a lay-up or layover, the work does not stop there. The activity level depends on how long the stay and how many crew remain.
MLS is a safe pair of hands when it comes to supporting your operation.

The traditional cold lay-up offers a longer reactivation time. However, with the addition of a Lite stack service, preservation is still managed with a few days of reactivation time. Consider it an alternative to warm stacking.
New Solution 1- Lite Cold Stacking
This service is for budget-focused clients who are more focused on faster warm stacking response times without the cost of a traditional cold stack solution. Additionally, with MLS managing the vessel, little additional reactivation time is required. While still saving in cost.
New Solution 2 – Enhanced Cold Stacking
Suppose you need to lay up for a longer time, and your vessels are high value or relatively modern. In that case, new technologies and solutions are available today to assist with your needs.
