Marine Contractor

The Marine Contractor is responsible for executing specialized marine operations such as

subsea installations, pipeline laying, dredging, coastal works, and heavy-lift activities. Operating in challenging environments, the Marine Contractor manages vessels, equipment, and skilled crews to deliver safe, precise, and timely execution.

Scope Ambiguity & Risk Allocation
Challenge

The diverse contractual landscape of marine projects, including FIDIC, BIMCO, and IADC contracts, presents contractors with substantial risk due to scope ambiguity. This issue starts at tendering with unclear BoQs, leading to pricing risks, and continues throughout construction, causing delays and disputes

Solution

ProjectVIEW ERP’s integration between estimation, procurement, and cost control, leads to more accurate cost breakdowns, faster submissions, and more reliable project baselines

Supply Chain Disruptions
Challenge

Global shortages, offshore transport issues, customs delays, or supplier insolvency can halt marine, drilling, and subsea operations, delaying delivery of critical equipment and materials, leading to idle time, increased costs, and missed deadlines

Solution

ProjectVIEW ERP’s integration of Site Item Requests, Procurement, Warehouse, and Materials Control streamlines the Supply Chain Cycle, enabling Just-in-time Procurement

Change Management & Claims Preparation
Challenge

The complex nature of marine construction, with frequent design changes for offshore structures, unclear subsea installation instructions, or informal communication regarding marine works, creates significant confusion and delays. Marine contractors face challenges in submitting justified variation claims, resulting in disputes and delayed payments

Solution

ProjectVIEW ERP’s BoQ versioning control allows tracking of BoQ and WBS changes associated with related drawings

Resource & Subcontractor Coordination
Challenge

Subcontractor management in marine/offshore projects is challenging due to specialized skills and hazardous environments. Stringent regulations and remote logistics further complicate this, increasing delay and dispute risks.

Solution

ProjectVIEW ERP’s Site Applications capture subcontractor productivity and align certifications with payments

Client-Mandated ERP System Implementation
Challenge

Marine and offshore projects increasingly require digital reporting and traceability, but fragmented contractor systems impede real-time progress updates, cost tracking, and compliance reporting, especially for government and large EPC contracts

Solution

ProjectVIEW serves as a centralized, cloud-based ERP platform that securely disseminates knowledge to all project stakeholders.
