Shipbuilding supervision

Expert supervision of our East European partner shipyards is an important factor in building safe, long-lasting, high quality ship hulls that are perfect down to the last weld. All technical questions are resolved on site, on the ship under construction.

We visit the shipyards announced and also unannounced. Strict agreements are reached and rigorously complied with between our inspectors and the classification inspector (Germanischer Lloyd or Bureau Veritas).

Our inspectors and the classification inspector almost always jointly inspect major criteria like pressure testing with air or water, alignment of the vessel on the slip, installation of the propeller nozzle, the stern tube and engine foundation, installation of anchor and windlass equipment and anchor pockets, hold dimensions, choice and determination of welding processes, and examination of x-rays.
