What Does YFD Stand For?

YFD stands for Yard Floating Dry Dock Non Self Propelled

YFD, or Yard Floating Dry Dock Non Self Propelled, refers to a specialized type of floating dry dock utilized in maritime operations for ship repairs and maintenance. Unlike self-propelled dry docks, YFDs rely on external tugboats for movement and positioning. These structures are designed to provide a stable platform for vessels during maintenance activities, allowing for easy access to the hull and underwater components while ensuring safety and efficiency in the shipyard environment.
