# Ship Defects

The Ship Defects module enables efficient management of vessel and component defects throughout their entire lifecycle. It provides tools for recording, tracking, and resolving reported damages, including the planning and monitoring of related repair activities.

The module is integrated with the Purchase system to handle spare parts procurement and repair services provided by third-party companies. It also supports the coordination of onboard repair jobs when required and includes functionality for performing and documenting risk assessments to ensure safety and compliance during defect resolution.
