What we do

We take on specialized newbuild projects in China at any stage — before the yard is chosen, during construction, or after something has gone wrong.

01
Newbuild delivery

Choosing the design, and a yard with real capacity for it — then getting the ship built and delivered.

The problem

  • Tier-one yards are booked, and a slot is hard to lock
  • Tier-two yards will take your ship; whether they can build it is another question
  • A yard pricing a one-off is estimating without precedent

What we do

  • Shortlist yards on who is actually free in your window, not who has the best reference list
  • Review the specification before enquiry, so gaps do not become variation orders
  • Help the yard price accurately, so the risk premium comes out of the number
  • Review the contract technically alongside your lawyers — class, refund guarantee, variation orders
  • Book long-lead equipment slots alongside the contract, not after it
  • Run a site team through construction, trials and delivery
02
Project recovery

For builds already late, over cost or stuck, where the argument has usually started.

The problem

  • The ship is late, over cost, or stopped
  • What is being argued about is usually not what is blocking it
  • A lawyer can win you damages but cannot get the ship finished

What we do

  • Go to the yard and find what is actually holding the ship
  • Trace design changes that were never passed on
  • Chase supplier engineering releases and delivery dates
  • Close open items on the deck, not in correspondence
  • Set out your options with honest time and cost against each
03
Design implementation

International design into Chinese production, without losing the intent.

The problem

  • Detail design is normally the yard's scope, so the yard picks the designer
  • That choice drives buildability, schedule and cost
  • You see the real number only after it is fixed
  • Or you have only a concept, and no route to a yard

What we do

With a basic design already
  • Bring the detail design house into direct contact with you, instead of leaving the choice to the yard
  • Help you pick one capable of your vessel, and coordinate refinement with your designer
  • Get cost clarity earlier, and take time out of the design phase
From a concept
  • Advise which designers suit the project
  • Run the process through to a package a yard can price
04
Equipment qualification

Chinese propulsion, deck handling and energy systems: verified to work, not just to cost less.

The problem

  • The cost case is obvious; the performance case is not
  • Often the product is fine, and the way the two sides do business is the problem
  • Certificates rarely cover what everyone assumes they cover

What we do

  • Close the gap in how the two sides work, and stay between them through the build
  • Bring the right integrator in where the package is not sold direct
  • Verify what certificates, type approvals and flag-state marks actually cover
  • Check the track record, service network and spares behind the product

Tell us about the vessel.

Whether you are choosing a yard or trying to get a stalled build moving, the first conversation costs nothing.
