Supervision of a luxury yacht on behalf of the Classification Society HRB

Challanges

Engagement

The engagement included both the supervision of the yacht’s construction and the supervision and certification of the equipment being installed on it, adhering to the strict standards and regulations applicable to the construction of such a type of ship. The deadlines for the ship’s construction were very tight due to the upcoming tourist season.

Process

The challenge was to implement the requirements of the HRB and the Croatian Flag on the ship without compromising the client’s high standards for luxury and comfort, and without causing delivery delays that would have resulted in significant financial losses for the yacht owner. For this purpose, constant supervision of the construction was necessary, both through inspections on the ship and through monitoring the timely delivery of drawings for approval, without which the construction of the ship would not be possible. Furthermore, with constant involvement in the project, it was necessary to anticipate potential problems and find solutions in time, requiring continuous communication between the client, designer, and HRB.

Results

The designer had to be aware at all times of which drawings were missing, and what the differences were between the approved drawings and the actual state on the ship so that the drawings could be updated.

Conclusion

In the end, the owner was extremely satisfied because the ship met all their expectations in terms of performance and luxury, and the HRB requirements that the yacht had to comply with did not cause any delays nor did they compromise the client’s demands for luxury and comfort.
