Choice of refit shipyard
Each refit shipyard has its own unique strengths. We will help you to select the best shipyard for your specific refit project, making sure that the final choice has the most suitable facilities, skills and management systems.
We will:
- work with you to understand the required refit work
- review its technical feasibility
- provide a selection of suitable refit shipyards to choose from.
The shortlist will contain shipyards:
- whose strengths match the refit project's requirements
- where you could get improved conditions
- whose workload should enable swift delivery
- where the best cost/quality ratio exists.
