Main Characteristics Developed in 2004 as Nauticus Construction, focused on shipbuilders.

Renamed in 2011 to Nauticus Project, reflecting broad coverage to shipowners, designers, etc.

Fully Internet based (software, database and document files stored in DNV/Norway servers). No need for IT homologation, no deployement.

Special version for shipyards (software and database in DNV/Norway, document files stored in the shipyard server). No need for renaming document files, renumbering of documents, etc.

Indepency from shipbuilder, classification society, shipdesigner, etc.

Can be fully downloaded for read-only at end of project.

The stroke of genius behind NP is not just its simplicity and flexibility but also its shift of focus towards deliverables. The project breakdown structure atomizes the project into manageable deliverables. A project based on such tangible deliverables is far easier to manage than one based on activities alone. It allows one to be precise about what has to be delivered and helps track progress in a concrete way.

Presentation Notes

This is the situation most newbuilding departments describe and Nauticus Construction (NC) has been designed specifically with this in mind.

Charterer’s Requirements

Presenter

Presentation Notes

We recently received a tender specification from a prospective charterer. The same document was given to prospective ship-owners. Tenderers were invited to describe how they would manage their newbuilding process. The questions were very similar to the requirements of ISO 9001


Shipbuilding is a Process !
