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.
