UG: Draught Reduction Buoyancy
The use of Unique Group’sbuoyancy bags our Seaflex® product line in the field of draught reduction projects is often linked to dry-docking scenarios. The drydock itself can have a lip that may potentially foul the underside of the vessel on the way in and/or out unless additional buoyancy is applied to ensure sufficient clearance.
