With our expert knowledge and experience of the design, supply chain and boatbuilding process, we provide the technical and commercial support you need to optimise your vessel productivity in line with your goals.
Providing a thorough review of your current process, we'll advise on the best products and techniques to ensure certification compliance, high quality safety standards and maximum performance.
Working closely with your team, we will support you at every stage, providing focussed attention on the aspects of the build you want to improve, from engineered structures and details to outfitting and internal systems.
We provide a range of marine services for commercial and private clients all over the world and we're Royal Institution of Naval Architects Corporate Partner members.
Our mission is to positively change boatbuilding through innovative techniques and products to increase safety, sustainability and process efficiency while reducing build costs and environmental impact.
From the start, we'll seek to understand your vessel and what you're trying to achieve, helping you define your goals throughout the design and development phases.
With a clear sense of what you're aiming for, we'll review your existing process and facilities to determine where the opportunities are for positive change.
We'll break down each aspect of the build process to identify specific areas for increased efficiency and overall cost reduction, whilst maintaining quality at every stage of your process.
Where necessary, together we will form a time and motion study and business case to compare your current and proposed approach.
We’ll source the best products and tooling through our network of trusted partners within the marine industry.
Subsequently we will support the formulation of the most efficient supply routes and stock management for your business.
We will technically and commercially support you to formulate the best standard material package from our boatbuilding and aftercare experience in keeping with your goals.
We will support you in formulating a suitable testing programme to prove the concept for positive and lasting change.
If required, we will arrange the certification of our calculations and production drawing package together with the range of classification societies.
As much as possible testing is conducted in-house together with trusted partners. We will oversee the testing and provide support for the interpretation of the results.
We'll work with your team to ensure they're trained and confident to get the best out of the selected products and process.
Even after your team has been trained, we're always available to provide the ongoing support you need.
Once the new process has been implemented for a few months, we'll check in to verify that everything is working as intended.
If any questions arise from our discussions or further tweaks need to be made, we'll work with you to make sure it meets all your requirements.
Together we'll formulate a plan to further enhance your process (if necessary) and to gradually implement ongoing and positive change alongside a busy production schedule.
