⚠ What owners hate about newbuilding projects:
Yards cutting corners on steel quality, equipment substitutions without approval, delivery delays that blow your financing schedule, and deficiency lists at handover that take 2 years to close.
✓ How The First Port solves this:
Full-time site team from steel cutting to delivery
not a flying inspector who visits monthly and misses everything in between
Material certification verification
every plate, pipe, and weld verified against approved specifications with mill certificates cross-checked
Weekly progress reports with photo evidence
owner receives documented construction milestones, not verbal assurances
Equipment FAT witness
Factory Acceptance Tests for all critical machinery (main engine, generators, cargo pumps) witnessed by our engineers
No-substitution policy
any yard request to change approved equipment requires formal owner approval with technical justification and cost-benefit analysis
Delivery condition survey
comprehensive handover inspection with zero tolerance for outstanding deficiencies at protocol signing
Warranty claim management
we track and enforce every warranty obligation for 24 months post-delivery, yard by yard, item by item
Future-fuel ready specifications
all newbuilding designs incorporate provisions for alternative fuel retrofit (LNG, methanol, ammonia ready)
