A guided tour of a newbuild from contract to delivery, and where the project manager adds value at each stage.
This lesson walks through the full lifecycle of a newbuild shipbuilding project so you can see how the phases connect before we dive into any one of them.
The phases
- Contract and project setup
- Detail design and class approval
- Steel cutting and block fabrication
- Dock erection
- Outfitting and commissioning
- Trials and delivery
Each phase hands over to the next; the planner's job is to make those hand-overs seamless.
