An important responsibility of any shipping company is to obtain the best terms in shipyard negotiations, whether for a new building or for dry-docking an existing vessel. An essential part of protecting the owners’ interests it is to prepare very detailed and complete specification of the work in hand and to negotiate the best prices and terms well in advance of any scheduled maintenance. This is a task that the technical staff of Coral is very familiar with and they fully understand the importance of a detailed and fully agreed specification well in advance of any scheduled maintenance.
