Support for Shipbuilding Projects

Consulting for the construction of new shipbuilding

For customers who plan the replacement, construction, or modification of ship, we will cooperate in the conceptual design of the required ship consideraing the transportation needs, route plans, port restrictions, etc. After that, we will make a basic plan of the ship requested and various performance calculations, and prepare technical specifications and basic drawings such as general arrangement. Based on the specifications, we draft business plans, such as building cost estimation, (project cost estimation), and preparing construction schedules.
If a decision is made to implement a shipbuilding or modification, we will prepare a tender documents for the selection of a qualified shipyard, a bid support, such as a bid evaluation, qualification examination and etc., and support contract negotiations. We also provide consistent services such as drawing approval after a construction contract, inspection during the manufacturing major equipment, and inspections during the construction.

Shipbuilding projects in developing countries through ODA

In developing countries, various types of ships for transporting people and daily necessities, inland water/river ferries, work vessel for infrastructure development, patrol vessels for maritime safety, etc., are required. However, the ability to plan ships that meet the needs and the funds and facilities to build them are lacking. We support the preparation and implementation of ship building projects in developing countries in such cases.
If the project is selected eligible as an Japan's ODA project , we will conduct various feasibility study such as preparatory surveys and detailed designs as specialized consultants. At the time of ship construction, we support the selection of shipyards, supervise the construction, etc., as a consultant on behalf of the implementing organizations in developing countries.
Our company has number of shipbuilding projects through ODA to Southeast Asian countries such as the Philippines, Indonesia, and Thailand, as well as to the Middle East and African countries.

Ship building plans of domestic local governments and public organizations

There are various kinds of ship owned and operated by domestic local governments and public organizations include port work ship, fisheries patrol ship, patrol ship, oil skimming boat, fireboat, and passenger ship. In the renewal and construction of these vessels, we provide expert ship design engineers with the ability to study and prepare optimal ship specifications that meet customer requirements and regulatory requirements. In addition, in consideration of construction cost estimation and schedule, we carefully examine estimation and set appropriate construction cost and time.
In recent years, in order to meet various requirements such as "Maritime Labour Convention, 2006" (MLC treaty), "Stricter Carbon Neutral requirements" , "Adoption of alternative fuels" and "Proper implementation of recycling and dismantling of ships", we are conducting various studies not only for new ships but also for remodeling.

Shipbuilding plan of the private enterprise

We also provide support for the formulation and preparation of ship construction plans by private enterprise. From ferryboats to cargo ships and special purpose ships, we provide support in the planning of construction and the preparation of specifications that meet the needs of our customers, and we offer proposals so that our customers can get more concrete image of the ship even at the idea stage.
We have planned amphibious vehicles, design their exterior, and supervise their construction to support new business development from various angles.
For customers who are considering extending the life of existing ships, we can take necessary measures for the ship's hull, engines, and electrical parts based on the ship's condition diagnosis, or recommend replacement, and respond to requests such as modification.
