Owner Representation

A major refit or new build unfolds over months, across dozens of decisions, vendors, and competing interests. Owner Representation places an independent technical advocate inside the project from the outset — holding scope, cost, and quality to the owners intent from contract through delivery.

Project Setup

Contract and specification review


Scope definition against owner intent


Decision authority and approval flow


Documentation framework established


During the yard period

Scope and change control


Independent technical oversight


Vendor and yard coordination


Milestone and progress tracking


Through delivery

Sea trials and commisioning oversight

Closeout and warranty positioning


Independent by design

Accountable to one position- the owners.

The yard answers to its own margins. The management company answers to its own mandate. Owner Representation answers only to the owner: bringing the documented, regulated discipline of commercial maritime to a project where the owners interest deserve a dedicated advocate.

  • Earliest is best: before contract or yard agreement, while terms are still negotiable. But representation adds value at any stage of an active project.

  • Those parties deliver the work. Owner Representation is independent of them; accountable only to the owner, with no stake in the yards margins or schedule.

  • Scoped per project, based on vessel, timeline, and complexity. Established after an initial review.

  • No. It complements them, providing the owner an independent technical advocate where their interests are more exposed.
