Keep yard work connected to project costs
A design revision, an extra repair or a late material can change a vessel’s cost before finance sees it. ProjectVIEW ERP connects estimating, procurement, production and cost control for shipbuilders and ship repairers. In addition, shipowners and fleet managers follow progress, changes and approvals on the same vessel project. As a result, both sides see cost exposure while they can still act.
- Estimate workloads and plan capacity with Rough-Cut Planning.
- Monitor fabrication, machining and production against project requirements.
- Coordinate quality records and decisions with owners and suppliers.
- Route changes through defined approval workflows.
- Identify material and resource constraints that threaten delivery.
One cost structure from estimate to execution
Link Bills of Quantities, WBS and Cost Codes across the vessel project. Materials, labour, subcontracted work and changes then follow the same breakdown. As a result, teams can compare the commercial baseline with yard execution and assess the forecast.
Group Technology (GT) supports the production approach alongside capacity planning.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is shipyard management software?
Shipyard management software connects vessel projects, yard resources and business processes. ProjectVIEW ERP supports estimating, procurement, materials, labour, subcontractors, changes and finance for newbuilds, repairs, conversions and dry docking.
Shipyard reference: DANAOS has experience supporting shipyard operations, including Papilas Shipyard.
How does ProjectVIEW connect shipyards and shipowners?
ProjectVIEW provides a client portal for shipowners and ship managers to monitor reported progress and review changes. Shared documents and approval records support coordination. Configure access around responsibilities, while keeping confidential yard information appropriately separated.
What are the advantages of shipbuilding ERP software?
Key advantages include:
• Shipyard CRM capabilities for sales management
• Integration with CAD/BIM and ship design tools
• Dock and yard space management
• Subcontractors & Contracts Management
• Integration with MS Project or Oracle Primavera
• Manufacturing/Fabrication/ Materials Management
• Cost control for materials, labor, and subcontractors
• Version-controlled document and design management
• Global supply chain and procurement optimization
What should a shipyard assess when selecting ERP software?
Assess how estimates, production, procurement, changes and finance connect. Test a representative vessel workflow using your work breakdown and approvals. Also review design-system integration, existing ERP connections, deployment options and implementation scope. Deployment can be in the cloud or on-premises.
Why consider ProjectVIEW ERP for shipbuilding and repairs?
ProjectVIEW approaches shipyard operations through project cost control. BoQ, WBS and Cost Codes connect the commercial baseline with work, resources and stakeholder decisions. DANAOS Projects’ origins within DANAOS Management Consultants add maritime software heritage to this project-focused approach.
Does ProjectVIEW integrate with design and planning tools?
Yes. ProjectVIEW integrates with the main ship design and CAD tools: AVEVA (including AVEVA Marine), FORAN, CADMATIC, NAPA, ShipConstructor, Maxsurf, Rhino 3D and AutoCAD. It also reads BIM models through IFC files. Quantities and revisions link to BoQ and WBS items for cost and change control. For scheduling, ProjectVIEW connects with Oracle Primavera P6 and Microsoft Project. NVIDIA Omniverse and NVIDIA Isaac Sim connect through Web APIs. AI models connect through the ProjectVIEW MCP server, so any MCP-compatible model or agent can work with ProjectVIEW data.
