Great video! Since the solid cube blocks directly contact with ship. How is the contact area cleaned and repainted? Do they need to clean and paint, then flood the dock, use tug boat to move ship a little, then pump water from dock and then clean and paint the previous contact areas?

Another KZitem video said they position the blocks differently next time they paint it and they just don’t paint that area of the ship until next time they dock

Maybe once man look at that big ship wonder how they do repairs on that. Well thank you I got to see how it’s done. One problem those mobile dry docks. What happens when they break down with the ship in dry dock. Do they have a dry dock that can handle them and does it go to them.

I have been in many drydocks both working and observing. I learnt my apprenticeship in a Royal Navy dockyard and continued to use drydocks as a merchant navy engineer when the ships I served on were drydocked. One thing has always puzzled me and that is: When a vessel is placed on the keel blocks, these blocks are place so as the entire weight of the ship can be taken by them. These blocks are placed according to the structure of the vessels hull so will be placed in similar positions every time a vessel is docked. This means that throughout the entire life of the vessel these areas of the hull are never blasted or painted, these being the areas where the vessel sits on the blocks. I have always wondered, but never asked the question. Why don’t they re-float the vessel once its painted, move it so as the blocks are now sat on painted areas of the hull and then blast and paint these final areas. But this is never done therefor as previously mentioned, there is a massive underwater area of a ship that never gets treated. One would not accept any other vehicle that was only partially treated underneath, so why are ship accepted like this? I guess it all comes down to cost, but I don’t really know and wished I had asked the question when I was in the position to get a proper reply.

I spend a lot of time perusing KZitem, and not very long ago, I came across an article about paint that said it could be applied, and would dry/harden "even under water". It may have been an epoxy paint, but I can't remember. It didn't say if this is ever used for maritime purposes, but for the relatively small areas along the keel blocks, mechanical scraping (I'm sure there are automatic gadgets that would do it), and underwater applicable paints would seem a solution of sorts. Have you ever come across that, Bernie?

I had heard that when a ship is drydocked, the locations of the blocks relative to the ship are set very precisely using surveying equipment. Then the next time the ship is drydocked, the blocks are positioned so the parts that weren't painted last time now get painted.

Ships are generally built to fit the canals. The size of the canals is a soft limitation of ship building: it's not super worth it to build a massive ship that can't go through the canals because it ends up very limited.

Ships can't be too long because when they go through the swells and the stern is on one swell and the bow is on another the midships need to still rest in the water between the swells for support. A real long ship risks the midships section being out of the water and losing support of the ocean and frequently will break the ships back and snap it in two.

The dry dock that iam talking abaut ,dock n13, has 520 Meters of lenght and could support ships until 1 million tons. It still exist being part of National Heritage. After the shipyard close down,almost 1500 men,from Engineers to welders and scaffolding experts,etc were invited by the UAE to Start the construction of theirs shipyards,all with Portuguese expertise. And the rest its history. I miss working under those 350,400 meter supertankers...was a world apart.
