Newbuild Specifications

If you have an newbuild idea in mind but need help to get it all down on paper in a fashion that can be used as a tender doscument to shipyards, then we can help.

Using standard terminology and layout we can take your brief and with you develop a full tender specification for you.

We can also assist in bid evaluations to ensure you have an unbiassed comparison on which to select a shipyard.

We can assist in negotiations and initial yard selections.

FEED and Newbuilding Plan Approval

We are able to provide dedicated engineers and skilled industry professionals of all disciplines to undertake any newbuilding plan approval project, together with a management process and document control.

Combining engineering knowledge with a wealth of different vessel type operational experience, and shipyard construction methodology know-how, is essential when reviewing and commenting on shipyards drawings.

• We know the rule requirements.

• We know the Specification requirements.

• We know what the vessel operators will want, and what they won't want.

• We know the restrictions that the shipyards have and why they propose a certain detail.

Marking up drawings is only part of the exercise. The key to succesful Plan Approval is the management of the whole process. Hundreds of drawings with thousands of comments can soon get out of control unless the shipyard engineering teams and the plan approval team agree on document control; agree the Master Document Register; agree on the reporting procedure and expectations; work to a simple but effective document transfer procedure and importantly adhere to certain rules.

We have experienced document controllers (DCC) to keep the process on schedule.
