Taiwan — Pre-Shipment
Periodic inspection attendance at the builder's facility in Kaohsiung, Taiwan. Structured deficiency documentation, corrective-action tracking, and pre-shipment readiness assessment — delivered as the owner's eyes on site.
Your build, on the other side of the world. Our eyes on site.
When a vessel is under construction in a foreign shipyard, the owner's ability to identify and resolve issues before shipment is almost entirely dependent on who they have representing them on site. Most problems that become expensive warranty claims or delivery disputes were visible weeks earlier — and fixable, if someone was looking.
KEY Marine Advisors provides periodic inspection attendance at the builder's facility throughout the build programme. Every visit produces a structured deficiency report — severity-classified, photo-documented, and tracked to verified closeout in a live Smartsheet workspace accessible to all stakeholders in real time.
The objective is straightforward: identify issues before they leave the shipyard, hold the right parties accountable, and give the owner complete confidence in their vessel's readiness before it ever loads for shipping.
