MISSION 08 / DEPARTURE

Close the demobilisation

Plan how plant leaves while access and responsibility are clear.

The reconnaissance brief.

Off-hire disputes and avoidable standby often begin because departure was never designed. This mission confirms notice, cleaning, inspection, fuel, attachment return, float access and evidence before site conditions change or temporary access disappears.

Record what you can verify, label what remains uncertain, and send the evidence with the enquiry. The supplier can then assess equipment fit, mobilisation and support against a clearer operating picture.
