During the ship building process there is high potential to influence the ship's quality and lifecycle cost. Our project management team of experienced professionals ensures that your vessel is built in accordance to the contract, the specification and the drawings and governing rules and regulations.

We are committed and driven to protect your interest from the very beginning and deliver a well-built ship which allows you to enjoy lower lifecycle cost.

From Steel Cutting to Delivery

Our site team of experts on hull, painting, machinery, piping, electrical, automation, cargo containment, and administration, follows the construction schedule closely. They ensure the quality through regular inspections, attend Factory Acceptance Tests (FAT) and attend the final test during the sea trial.

The site team has regular progress reviews with the shipyard to ensure that any non conformity is followed up by a recovery plan. We conduct scheduled inspections and also patrolling of worksites to closely monitor safety and quality during construction.

The final ship documents and certificates are carefully reviewed and delivered. Regular progress reports are provided to the owner.
