It would seem silly questions and the answer to them seems obvious. But! Why, then, we often faced with such mistakes? Whatever existing delivery chain we analyze, there is almost always a field for continuous improvements. No matter what new project we got for examination, almost in every one you can add, improve and optimize something … This is our main task and demand. We do not deal with standard solutions, but with competent support of the Customer in the process of design and construction, modernization and optimization, development and management of the maritime projects. We are those who fill that invisible gap between business and engineering, which often goes unnoticed by the Customer.

So why does Customer often not satisfied by result? Or why solutions aren’t optimal often?
Almost always, this happens according to one scenario. Consider this as an example: the owner of a business, say freight owner, which in order to increase the efficiency of its own logistics, decided to build its own fleet. Gathering from the public sources the main technical and economic characteristics of the new vessel, understanding everything in the logistics business and understanding almost nothing in ship design and construction, he turns to the designer, who understands everything in the design, and practically nothing in the customer’s business.

Before start, the designer forces the customer to sign the technical order for design, and from that moment all the problems of the customer begin. Begins a fascinating process, in which all participants are sure that they speak the same language to each other. But, approaching the middle of the project, the Customer start to understand that the obtained characteristics of ship under design are far from optimal, and the arguments of the designer, why changes were made or why this is impossible, are impeccable. To the question: if we can change it, the answer is “Of course it is possible for extra time and money”.

Having decided to leave everything as is, the construction process begins. To the question: “Why is it so expensive?”, the builder replies that it would be cheaper if one technical solution were applied but another one has been applied in the project. Therefore, with the same functionality of the vessel, the technology of its construction is more expensive … You turn to the designer with the question about correction and get a familiar answer – everything is possible for your time and your money!

The same story repeats when the ship is commissioned, the designer and builder will say that they did exactly what you asked them to do, and to the question: “Why didn’t they advised you, how to make it more propper?”, you’ll get the first honest answer: “ this is not our job!”
The customer often turns to specialized companies that develop business plans and feasibility studies which are necessary to obtain financing, attract investors, etc. Usually such companies same business-oriented as customers and not required to have professional engineers and technical supervision teams. Those, their work ends at the stage of issuing a feasibility study of 500 pages hardly to be read fully.

Whatever you do today, someone will definitely do better tomorrow, but that’s not a reason to use yesterday technologies today. Most of the mistakes in this story can be avoided if there is someone next to the customer who has extensive experience in logistics, management of fleet or transshipment terminals, with an understanding of all internal business processes, whose engineers able to not only advise, but even design and construct the required fleet or terminal independently , who have vast experience in ship design and shipbuilding or port planning and construction, who are able to not only supervise, but able to take full care and management of a whole project …
