# Project and Dry Dock Management Software

> NOZZLE Project and Dry Dock Management Software brings vessel projects and dry dockings together — scheduling, a docking scope built from planned maintenance, yard purchasing, budget control, guarantee claims and IHM updates — in one part of the NOZZLE ship management platform.

## Plan and run vessel projects and dry dockings in one place

NOZZLE Project and Dry Dock Management Software helps ship operators plan and run
their vessel projects — dry dockings, major repairs, retrofits and survey
campaigns — by bringing the scope, purchasing, budget and records together. It is
one module of the NOZZLE ship management platform, built on the maintenance,
procurement, finance and HSEQ capabilities operators already use day to day.

NOZZLE tracks each vessel's next dry-dock date and builds the project scope from
the planned-maintenance jobs, overhauls and inspections due around the window, so
the scope reflects the vessel's real condition. Yard services, materials and
project spares are bought through the standard procurement workflow and captured
against the project's cost centre, keeping quotes, orders and actual spend visible
against budget. When the vessel leaves the yard, defects in the guarantee period
become documented guarantee claims, and hazardous materials installed during the
project are recorded in the IHM.

Explore the project and dry-dock capabilities in depth:

- **[Dry dock planning](/solutions/dry-dock-planning-software/)** — schedule the
  next dry dock and build the scope from the work due.
- **[Guarantee & warranty claims](/solutions/guarantee-claims-management-software/)**
  — recover the cost of defective yard work or equipment.
- **[Budget & cost control](/solutions/maritime-budget-cost-control-software/)** —
  track project spend against budget.
- **[Inventory of Hazardous Materials (IHM)](/solutions/ihm-inventory-hazardous-materials-software/)**
  — keep IHM Part I current as materials come aboard.

## Capabilities

### Plan the dry dock around the work already due
_Dry Dock Planning_

Dry dockings and major projects are planned years ahead and cost more the later they slip. NOZZLE tracks each vessel's next dry-dock date and builds the docking scope from the planned-maintenance jobs, overhauls and inspections due around the window — so the project scope reflects the vessel's real condition, not a list rebuilt from memory.

* Next dry-dock date tracked per vessel, with a fleet view * Docking scope drawn from planned-maintenance jobs due * Required spare parts visible from the maintenance jobs * Dry-dock timing aligned with class survey windows

### Buy yard services and control the project budget
_Purchasing & Budget_

Yard services, docking materials and project spares are bought through the same NOZZLE procurement workflow as any purchase, and captured against the project's cost centre — so quotes, orders and actual spend stay visible against the project budget rather than surfacing after redelivery.

* Yard services and materials requisitioned through procurement * Quotes and orders captured against the vessel and cost centre * Project spend tracked against budget in real time

### Close out the project with claims and records
_Close-Out_

When the vessel leaves the yard, defects found in the guarantee period become documented guarantee claims, and any hazardous materials brought aboard during the project are recorded in the Inventory of Hazardous Materials — so the project is closed out with the records that protect the operator.

* Guarantee and warranty claims for defective yard work or equipment * IHM Part I updated for materials installed during the project * A complete record of scope, spend and outcomes

## Frequently asked questions

### What is project and dry dock management software?
Project and dry dock management software helps a ship operator plan and run vessel projects — dry dockings, major repairs, retrofits and survey campaigns — by bringing the scope, purchasing, budget and records together. NOZZLE builds this on its existing maintenance, procurement, finance and HSEQ capabilities rather than as a disconnected tool.

### How does NOZZLE build a dry-dock or project scope?
NOZZLE draws the scope from the planned maintenance system — the jobs, overhauls and inspections due around the docking window, and the spares they require — so the project reflects the vessel's real condition. See [Dry Dock Planning](/solutions/dry-dock-planning-software/).

### How is project spend controlled?
Yard services and materials are purchased through NOZZLE procurement and captured against the project's cost centre, so quotes, orders and actual spend stay visible against budget. See [Budget & Cost Control](/solutions/maritime-budget-cost-control-software/).

### What happens after the vessel leaves the yard?
Defects found within the guarantee period become documented [guarantee claims](/solutions/guarantee-claims-management-software/), and any hazardous materials installed during the project are recorded in the [Inventory of Hazardous Materials](/solutions/ihm-inventory-hazardous-materials-software/).
