Establish what the yard changed
Collect the isolation list, removed-component register, pipework changes and electrical work records. A previously reliable BWTS can be affected by a closed valve, disconnected signal or altered sample route outside the main treatment unit. The restart scope should follow those changes rather than repeat a generic annual inspection.
Stage the restart checks
Start with reinstatement and visible condition, then confirm instrument identity, communication and permissives before an operating trial. Agree water availability, crew support and any surveyor attendance. Tests requiring flow should be scheduled around dock and berth restrictions so the engineer is not asked to demonstrate performance without the necessary operating conditions.
Close the yard-to-vessel handover
Specify an updated equipment list, outstanding items, relevant calibration records and a restart report showing the actual test conditions. Sea Clean can combine spares and service attendance with this handover. Keep biological commissioning or other required testing as a defined companion work package where the project requires it.
Illustrative procurement scenario
A dock period includes panel work and sample-line renewal. The manager sends both yard scopes to Sea Clean, allowing the restart attendance to cover signal checks and sample delivery rather than focusing only on the treatment unit.

Frequently asked questions
Should restart service include a biological test?
Include it when the project or applicable survey scope requires it. Sea Clean can coordinate sampling and laboratory analysis alongside the technical restart work.
