FAQ
Answers to guide your maritime journey
What is a shipyard evaluation?
A shipyard evaluation is an independent assessment of a yard’s ability to successfully execute a specific newbuilding project. It considers factors such as technical capability, facilities, quality systems, project management, financial standing and experience with similar vessels.
What is assessed during a yard evaluation?
A yard evaluation typically assesses technical capability, production capacity, facilities, quality management, HSE performance, financial standing and previous delivery record. Particular attention should be given to the yard’s experience with vessels of similar type, size and technical complexity.
Why evaluate a shipyard before placing a newbuild order?
A shipyard evaluation helps identify technical, financial and project-execution risks before a newbuilding contract is signed. It allows the owner to assess whether the yard has the capability and resources to deliver the required vessel on time, at the expected quality and within the agreed commercial framework.
How long does a yard evaluation take?
The duration depends on the number of yards, project complexity and required level of assessment. A focused evaluation can typically be completed within a few weeks and results in a structured assessment of each yard’s capabilities, risks and suitability for the project.
Which shipbuilding markets does FKAB evaluate?
FKAB supports shipowners in evaluating shipyards in major international shipbuilding markets, including Europe and China. The evaluation can be adapted to the vessel type, project requirements and the specific yards being considered.
