However when the damage to the bottom is suspected after any accident in the previous sailing, It should be inspected immediately after the water in dock is discharged, then, the repair methods and the scope of repair should be decided as soon as possible. the scratch or small indents in the bottom shell are re-inspected after the bottom shell is dry and cleaned.
