Overview
From project ambition to vessel delivery.
A commercial view of construction, conversion and repair throughout the vessel lifecycle.
Building or adapting a vessel is a long-term undertaking involving technical specifications, payment stages and changing project demands. The agreement needs to be understood alongside the work it is intended to support.
Our ship building focus covers the relationships behind new builds, repairs and conversions, including the commercial consequences when a project departs from its original plan.
Areas of focus
- New-build and conversion agreements
- Repair, refit and specification changes
- Milestones, payments and delivery terms
- Guarantees and related finance arrangements
- Delay, acceptance and performance disputes
Our approach
We focus on how the project is expected to progress, the decisions required at each stage and the documentation supporting them. A shared understanding of the milestones helps frame the commercial discussion.
