“We take a personalised approach to every new build project. We help an owner identify their usage needs, cruising plans and vessel requirements, consulting on construction materials, hull design, exterior aesthetic, technical innovation, environmental impact and efficiency. Our wide-reaching experience and expertise means we can confidently advise on suitable shipyards and will negotiate the best terms on the owner’s behalf.”
