FAQ
ARCSHIP supports vessels calling at the Kingdom’s principal commercial and industrial ports, Jeddah and King Abdullah Port on the Red Sea, and Dammam, Jubail and Ras Tanura on the Arabian Gulf, as well as offshore fields and anchorages on both coasts.
Yes. Life-saving appliance and fire-fighting appliance servicing is carried out to SOLAS, the LSA and FSS Codes and the relevant flag-state and classification-society requirements, with test certificates issued on completion.
Teams are mobilised to meet the vessel’s schedule. Where scope is advised in advance, spares and test equipment are pre-positioned so inspection, repair and re-certification are completed within the port stay.
ARCSHIP works to the standards of leading classification societies including Lloyd’s Register, Bureau Veritas, ABS, Korean Register, RINA, ClassNK, the Indian Register of Shipping, CCS and Tasneef. Approval scope by society is confirmed on request.
