Strategic Decision-Making Support
We can advise clients on the range of options depending upon the proposed repair time and available budget. This assists if you need to layover over a ship under repair.
Experience
With a technical department of qualified marine engineers and highly trained staff experienced in maintenance & reliability engineering, it is heavily focused on understanding the needs & balance of providing excellent service at the right time.

The Commercial Decision
When repairs are required to be made, finding a cost-effective location can be tricky. Can I reduce manning or even go below minimum manning? Unfortunately, some of the most cost-effective anchorages, such as Singapore OPL, are not recommended by insurers due to accident rates. As such, MLS can assist you in making a commercial decision on the correct location.
Cost Effectiveness
Offering a range of services means targeting exemplary service to our clients to meet and exceed their expectations. Below is an example of expected cost savings for hot and warm layovers.

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 layover projects worldwide. From when a vessel or rig arrives for a 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.
