- Agreed maker list
Main engines, propulsion, DP systems, deck machinery and safety equipment account for a large share of a vessel's cost and much of its long-term reliability. The maker list deserves the same attention as the hull design.
We prepare equipment specifications, evaluate vendors on technical merit, service network and lifecycle cost, and agree the maker list in writing before contract signature.
Scope of service
- Equipment specifications and data sheets
- Vendor pre-qualification and short-listing
- Technical and commercial bid evaluation
- Price negotiation and purchase terms
- Maker-list preparation and change control
- Factory acceptance test attendance
- Delivery, documentation and spares coordination
