Shipbuilders & Repairers

Shipbuilder is responsible for transforming design concepts into fully constructed vessels, ranging from commercial ships to specialized offshore units.

Managing complex engineering, fabrication, and assembly processes, the Shipbuilder and Ship Repairer coordinate skilled labor, materials, and technology to deliver high-quality ships that meet rigorous safety, performance, and regulatory standards.

Scope Ambiguity & Risk Allocation
Challenge

Under BIMCO contracts, shipbuilders face increased financial risks due to ambiguous scope or documentation. Unclear BoQs at the tendering stage lead to pricing uncertainties, which can escalate into costly delays and disputes during vessel construction

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, marine transport issues, customs delays, or supplier insolvency can halt shipbuilding progress, delaying delivery of critical vessel components and materials, leading to idle time, increased costs, and missed delivery 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 systems integration within shipbuilding, with frequent changes to regulatory compliance requirements, unclear instructions for machinery installation, or informal communication regarding system modifications, creates significant confusion and delays. Shipbuilders 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

Shipyards face subcontractor management challenges due to the need for diverse, specialized trades and precise coordination in complex fabrication processes. Stringent quality control and tight scheduling within a confined, regulated environment increase the risk of delays and quality disputes

Solution

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

Client-Mandated ERP System Implementation
Challenge

Shipyards increasingly require digital reporting and traceability for shipowners, government, and banks, but fragmented systems impede real-time progress, cost, and compliance reporting across complex projects

Solution

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