Efficient project timelines and global partner yards

Shipowners face numerous challenges when building vessels that impact project timelines and costs. One of the foremost concerns is the need for efficient project timelines, ensuring timely delivery and minimizing unnecessary delays. 

We have been working with shipowners and yards almost all over the world, and we understand the significance of streamlined processes and the efficient utilization of resources to stay on track. Use our experience to safeguard your projects.

Streamlining equipment procurement and avoiding bottlenecks

Purchasing main equipment from various suppliers can be a hassle for shipowners. Coordinating with multiple vendors to secure the best offers is time-consuming and resource-intensive. Shipowners often lack the resources to negotiate efficiently with suppliers, hindering their ability to maintain efficient project timelines. Additionally, identifying trusted partner yards globally adds complexity to the process, requiring extensive research and evaluation.

Further, delayed engineering documentation can be a potential bottleneck for a shipyard. It not only affects the specific tasks related to that documentation but also has a ripple effect on the overall project progress.
