FAQ
Answers to guide your maritime journey
What is a shipyard appraisal?
A shipyard appraisal is an independent assessment of a yard’s capability to execute a specific newbuilding project. It evaluates areas such as technical competence, production capacity, quality systems, financial standing, HSE and experience with comparable vessels.
What does a yard evaluation cover?
A yard evaluation typically covers technical capability, production capacity, facilities, quality management, HSE performance, financial standing and previous delivery record. Experience with vessels of similar type, size and complexity is particularly important.
When should a yard evaluation be done in the procurement process?
A yard evaluation should be carried out before the shipbuilding contract is signed and preferably before the final shortlist is established. This allows technical and execution risks to influence yard selection and gives the owner time to clarify potential weaknesses before entering contract negotiations.
What risks does a yard evaluation reduce?
A yard evaluation helps reduce the risk of delivery delays, quality problems, technical disputes and unexpected costs. It can also identify weaknesses in production capacity, project management or financial stability before the owner commits to a shipbuilding contract.
Does FKAB evaluate shipyards in Asia?
Yes. FKAB supports owners with shipyard evaluation and newbuilding procurement in Asia, with particular experience in the Chinese shipbuilding market. Our China office can provide local technical support during yard evaluation, tendering, contract discussions and construction.
Can FKAB provide technical support during newbuilding contract negotiations?
Yes. FKAB can support owners during newbuilding contract negotiations by reviewing the technical specification, drawings, yard proposals, deviations and technical clarifications.
