Dry Docking

Dry docking is a critical process in the maritime industry, essential for the maintenance, repair, and inspection of ships. This procedure involves removing a vessel from water and placing it in a dry dock, where various maintenance tasks can be performed. This comprehensive guide explores the importance, process, types, benefits, and challenges of dry docking, providing a detailed understanding of its role in ensuring the safety and efficiency of maritime operations.

Types of dry docks in maritime | LOTUS Containers

Dry docks are maritime facilities where vessels are moored for maintenance and repairs. These are also used for assembling the parts to construct a new vessel. Different types of dry docks serve various purposes.In maritime operations, dry docks come in several types: floating dry docks, which can be submerged and raised; graving docks, which are permanent structures excavated from the shore; and marine railways, where ships are hauled out of the water on rails. Each serves specific ship maintenance and repair needs. Contact LOTUS Containers for additional information.

I wanted to make a visual for Soley's parents so I did

Left: Árni, right: Salka

A little lore I'm strongly considering under the cut

The two of them decided very young that they were very much in love and resolved to leave the forest in order to live their lives together. They travelled a little, and as both had a fondness for the sea they naturally found themselves gravitating towards sailing jobs. Whithin a few decades, they had amassed enough wealth to acquire a ship of their own, and set about establishing their business sailing passengers and cargo between otherwise-hard-to-reach locations, eventually finding their rhythm on a route that more or less spanned the globe - they would sail from Othard, to Vylbrand, and then on to Tural, and then back again, picking up passengers, crew, and cargo (and dropping off old ones) along the way. By the time Soley was born the Torunns and their ship, the Aalto, were one of the foremost names in the business.

They'd pledged their lives to one another young, though, long before either had really learned who the other was going to become, and the stress of parenthood and the natural isolation of a seafaring life wore on them over time. Salka in particular became bitter, and angry, mostly towards her partner. Her family and crewmates saw a side of her that nobody on land ever did; cold, controlling, and sometimes violent. This energy was never directed towards her son, who only learned the truth of his mother once he was old enough to understand how one-sided his parents' "fights" were. Árni, for his part, became ever more distant from those around him, especially his son - who so resembled the woman he'd once loved, and now hated - and devoted himself entirely and wholeheartedly to the maintenance of the ship as a means of creating time by himself.

The pair of them were lost at sea, presumably having gone down with the ship, shortly before the Calamity. Soley had stayed in Tuliyollal at the recommendation of a family friend and, upon hearing the news of his family's disappearance, found that he wasn't especially sad about the loss of his emotionally unavailable father and selfish, domineering mother. He still wonders, sometimes, whether that makes him a terrible person.
