| The dock dried up after sailing of APJ Jad and the blocks being arranged |
Two days back, APJ Jad an Indian flag vessel had sailed out of Colombo dry-dock after completion of her docking surveys and repairs. We were waiting for her to sail out for us to enter the dry-dock. While waiting the repair work went on as we waited on yard berth.

The yard is quite big and we are altogether four vessels in the same dry-dock. One is our own vessel Allcargo Laxmi, two are supply vessels and one is barge. The barge and one supply vessel had entered yesterday itself and the other supply vessel entered this morning followed by Allcargo Laxmi.

Flooding takes place in about two hours, while it took about seven hours to pump the dock dry. Almost a day was consumed for arranging the distribution of blocks for sitting of the four vessels.

Colombo dry-dock is quite busy and we were told that they are booked till 2020.
