Building a new aluminium vessel can be a high-risk undertaking, particularly if the requirements of the vessel call for it to be custom designed.  We transfer the risk from your shipyard to ourselves and then use our extensive experience in aluminium vessel design to eliminate or mitigate the risk.

This is your shipbuilding project, you must be an active participant, making decisions and giving feedback where required in a timely manner.   You then build the vessel to our exact design and class requirements using good workmanship and a high standard of shipbuilding skill and practice.  

Assuming this is the case, we offer you our guarantee to you as follows:

2. Class Approval – We guarantee, through liaison with your chosen class authority, the Marine Kit design we prepare for you will achieve your selected class design approval, with any necessary drawing amendments being at our own cost.
