Project consultancy for maintenance periods

The earlier you start planning your next maintenance period, the better the outcome. Offload the burden onto our dedicated project managers and ensure it is delivered on time and on budget.

Most yachts are in the midst of a busy summer season, which leaves little time for captains and crew to start coordinating maintenance periods for the winter ahead. With our unbeatable project consultancy track record in shipyards around the world, we recognise the importance of the pre-planning stage, and the teamwork between all stakeholders, in delivering projects on time and on budget.

With extensive experience overseeing projects of all types and sizes, our project managers are available to support captains and crew with the planning, coordination, and execution of any upcoming works. Our support can extend to the full project management, with the power to act as owner’s representative until successful completion. These services are available to any yacht looking for a successful maintenance period with a seamless return to normal cruising operations.

To ensure the yacht’s downtime is optimised, our experienced project managers can assist with all necessary preparations. This includes compiling a shipyard comparison report with realistic quotations based on the full scope of works required. Adding value at every stage, we can assist with organising berths, sourcing suppliers and contractors, negotiating prices, coordinating and overseeing works and managing Trafico de Perfeccionamiento Activo (TPA) and Inward Process Relief (IPR) to save on VAT where possible.

For larger-scale projects – encompassing everything from renewal surveys to major interior and exterior transformations – our project managers are well supported by the larger Hill Robinson team. This includes a legal team for the preparation of contracts and disagreement resolution, a procurement department for sourcing and negotiating the best prices and shortest delivery times, as well as other specialists.

The other benefits of our project consultancy services include:

• Your best interests are protected throughout the project and beyond, helping you make informed decisions at every stage.
• Our established relationships with class, flags, shipyards, contractors and vendors enable us to effectively negotiate contracts and rates for our clients.
• We proactively provide cost-effective and pragmatic solutions that help deliver an owner’s vision on time and on budget.
• Based on our indicators, our project managers often save between 100% and 200% of the project management cost in negotiated prices and reduced costs.

While owners and captains are focused on a busy summer of cruising, now is the ultimate time to proactively plan an upcoming maintenance period. Get in touch with our team of experts to find out how we can help.
