We have been involved in many ship design projects in various shipyards such as Sanoyas in Mitzushima, NKK Shimizu works, etc. Our function was to act as owners representatives responsible for the contracts, specifications, plan approval, design changes and local supervision during construction, sea trials, delivery, guarantee dry-docking. Our main objective is to insure the quality of materials and the integrity of construction according to the lines of specifications and to propose changes in different phases of construction so that the end product will operate economically and efficiently during it's years of service.
