Graig has gained experience in building ships under a diversity of conditions in several different countries world-wide and the conclusion that we have drawn from this first hand knowledge is that the quality of supervision can have a dramatic effect on the completed vessel.

We have, therefore, not been slow to recognise that building vessels in countries such as China; where we are currently extensively involved in projects both "in-house" and for third party ownership, can be cost effective without those savings impacting upon the quality of the vessel.

Our project managers and building supervisors, whether hull, machinery or electrical, have worked for or been known to us through several projects. Where appropriate, local highly qualified personnel have been trained in the Graig ethos to bolster our strong team of European inspectors.

We can offer our unique and successful approach in newbuilding supervision to discerning owners who either need assistance with the identification of the right yard for their new building requirements or having contracted to build in China, wish to take delivery of a vessel of the very best quality. The earlier Graig is involved in your project, the more influence we can apply to achieving a tight specification, optimised supplier/equipment list and negotiations for the best packages.

In addition to the above, we offer the following services from our dedicated representative office in Shanghai, PRC: -
  • Naval design,
  • Newbuilding plan approval,
  • Brokerage, contract negotiation and documentation,
  • Newbuilding supervision,
  • Outfitting supervision,
  • Main/auxilliary engine supervision,
  • Agency for technical equipment, and
  • Third party company local office representation, including translation services
