Courses Available

Contract Management for Ship Construction, Repair, and Design

This program is a lessons-learned one, not some theoretical course on contract management. It bears a lot of "scar tissue" from marine contractual disasters. It is designed for:

Project managers who handle day-to-day relations with the other party
Persons who form contracts
Senior managers who monitor contract-related resources/cash flow

The Port Engineer's and Owner's Representative's Course

This course is designed for shipowner's personnel who prepare specifications, who accompany the ship to the shipyard, and who arrange for new/growth/change work during contract performance. This course helps assure getting maximum value for money spent.

Shipyard Management of the Customer and Contract

This course is a lessons-learned one and is custom-designed for shipyard personnel and subcontractors to shipyards. The topics of discussion have been selected from common sources of shipyard errors, disagreements or disputes analyzed in numerous prior contracts. The lessons learned by others through their mistakes are used to create positive, problem-avoidance practices for shipyard personnel. The result for the shipyard is an enhanced ability to identify costs which are the Owner's responsibility and sell them to the Owner instead of absorbing those costs.
