Shipowner

In new vessel construction, the Shipowner plays a vital role in supervising the entire build process to ensure the vessel meets contractual, technical, and operational requirements.

From design approval to shipyard coordination and inspections, the Shipowner closely monitors progress, quality, and compliance—safeguarding their investment and ensuring the vessel is delivered on time and ready for service.

Limited Real-Time Visibility
Challenge

Newbuild budgets, set by design specs, gear, and material costs, face risks. Design shifts, supply snags, and regulatory hurdles force costly fixes, revising budgets. Owners’ limited real-time sight into the project strains delivery times and return on investment

Solution

ProjectVIEW ERP serves as a single source of truth for all shipbuilding operations, facilitating real-time project and job-based cost control.

Change Management and Variation Control
Challenge

Shipowners face the inherent unpredictability of vessel design changes, shipyard site issues, and evolving maritime regulations. Robust change control is crucial; its absence generates costly delays, operational confusion, and significant budget overruns in complex shipbuilding and conversion projects

Solution

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

Certification and Class Compliance
Challenge

Ensuring all components and systems are built, tested, and certified according to Class and Flag State requirements is a complex, ongoing process. Any missed inspections or unlogged certifications can delay delivery and increase post-handover risks.

Solution

ProjectVIEW ERP’s centralized documentation serves as a Common Data Environment where all documents adn records are securely stored and digitally distributed.

Information Silos and Documentation Gaps
Challenge

Shipyard operations data, certifications, correspondence, and test results are often scattered across systems, logs, and internal reports, creating a decentralized and disconnected mode of operation.

Solution

ProjectVIEW ERP’s integration allows connected documents for each ERP process to be centrally stored in the CDE, securely accessible to project stakeholders on demand.

Handover
Challenge

Shipowners find vessel delivery hindered by incomplete documentation, impacting operational readiness and long-term maintenance of complex ship systems and structures

Solution

Constructed elements update designs, drawings, and the BIM model—facilitating snag lists and completing handover documentation, while supporting the further development of an asset management plan
