– This module discusses these very interesting activities in a shipping company (from the technical and business point of view), having direct and measurable results, which can increase rapidly a managed fleet.
– The students will become familiar with the significant objectives of shipping company / Owner, for each project in order to cover successfully its basic targets.
- Final delivery time
- Achieved quality levels, as per agreed quality standards
- Keep contractual price and avoid extras
– Particular focus is provided for both the newbuilding / drydocking projects (and where / besides the Yard’s prices & charges) is very significant to establish reliable & effective site-team of inspectors and forward to shipyard the “Owner’s Furnished Material” (OFM) (in good time, as per agreed specifications, in adequate quantities and as per the Yard’s production schedule plan).
– The module shall describe (for both cases of NBs and DDs) the absolute need of the Owner’s Site Team acting as his-own representatives, who shall monitor, check, guide and correct all yard’s activities, based on agreed Contract and Spec and in parallel to submit to shipping company reliable and analytical reports (i.e., for company briefing, keep production records and ask Owner’s assistance-support, if / as needed).
– The students shall learn the different engineering and production activities of the shipyard and their varying priorities (plus the “critical path analysis”- CPA) and for site team members to be well aware of the contract and spec provisions and to ensure team work, collaboration, exchange of information and to share among them all the inspections and checks (i.e., to cover all the yard’s production activities).
– The students shall analyze and become familiar with the effective training and preparation for the site team members, as well as for the respective staff members of Technical Department (ashore), in combination with numerous case studies and examples, photos, tables, standard forms, and valuable handouts, as needed for their future activation, as staff members of the shipyard or in the Technical Department of shipping company.

The module aims to
- Provide evidence to the students of how the different shipbuilding and repairs’ yards respond, perform and plan their major projects for newbuildings and DD / conversions.
- Familiarize the students with the different procedures followed by shipyards to cooperate with the Owner’s representatives during the whole duration of each project and especially for the prompt execution of the production milestones / events.
- Clarify how the Owner’s representatives supervise the shipyard works, in order to verify the shipyard compliance with the signed Contract Agreement, Technical Specification and other contractual documents, plus Owner’s approved drawings, by controlling also the respective yard schedule plan, the achieved quality levels and to avoid possible extras.
- Urge students to acquire and apply good background for effective project management and also how to propose / impose proper preventive actions and remedial measures to the shipyard.

At the end of the module the learner will be able to:
Identify and critically appraise the different entities for management of a successful project, within a shipping company and outside of it.
Critically evaluate communication methods with the different departments of a shipyard, either for a small project with duration of 1-2 months, or alternatively a long one, with duration of 2-3 years.
Display awareness of and critically apply a range of methods and techniques to cooperate effectively with the crew Officers and ratings of existing ships for DD, repairs, conversions, retrofittings.
Create summary and conclusive reports to the Top Management of a shipping company, upon the completion of different production events / milestones, by assessing the shipyard compliance with its contractual obligations.
Assess tools and techniques for the controlling of yard schedule plans, affecting different projects, to estimate / foresee possible delays, but also to conclude respective, but proper remedial measures.
Develop personal effectiveness in project management for ensuring specified quality levels (as per applicable quality standards) and also to carry out cost controls (in accordance with applicable budget estimates).
ASSESSMENT STRATEGY
Based on the Programme Specification, students are formally assessed through the submission of coursework. The forms of coursework depend on the characteristics of each module and may include the following types of assessments: case study, essay, report, dissertation, market analysis,project output, valuation, etc.
In addition each module incorporates multiple self-assessment tests. Self-assessment tests are not part of the formal assessment but completion is strongly encouraged as students will be able to monitor and evaluate their learning process and identify areas requiring improvement.
