Telakkatointia
Telakkatointia is a Finnish term that translates to "docking activity" or "shipyard work." It encompasses the broad range of activities involved in the maintenance, repair, construction, and refitting of ships and other vessels within a shipyard or dry dock. This includes tasks such as hull cleaning and painting, propeller maintenance, engine repairs, and the installation of new equipment. Shipyards are specialized industrial facilities designed to accommodate vessels for these extensive operations, often utilizing dry docks or floating docks to lift ships out of the water for easier access.
The process of telakkatointia is crucial for ensuring the seaworthiness, safety, and operational efficiency of vessels.
