New build
Start with how the boat will be used, where it will operate, what it will carry, and what the builder needs to know. MarineFS helps owners and boat builders compare arrangements, coordinate hull and system inputs, and prepare production information for the selected configuration.
Before detail work
Show which decisions are fixed, which remain open, what alternatives are being compared, and what evidence is needed to select a direction.
Document intended service, operating area, loading, payload, crew, speed and endurance objectives, transport or launch constraints, maintainability, and acceptance criteria. Record assumptions and conflicts before they enter the arrangement.
Use hull geometry and technical inputs accepted for the project to define the principal platform configuration and arrangement. Record access, deck and machinery zones, payload locations, construction approach, and the alternatives that need owner or specialist review.
For supplier-built aluminum and composite products, define the required function, interfaces, materials, and attachment approach. Record corrosion or environmental controls, build constraints, and inspection needs. Where those questions apply, use load, laminate, structural, and review inputs accepted by the responsible qualified party.
Define propulsion, power, controls, communications, navigation, auxiliaries, and payload interfaces while the arrangement is still open. Show equipment space, routing, access, service needs, operating modes, and the supplier decisions that remain unresolved.
Convert the selected configuration into models, drawings, equipment and interface data, and supplier packages. Include build sequencing, inspection points, test requirements, and a method for recording accepted changes.
What the project receives
Operating basis, assumptions, and acceptance criteria
Selected platform configuration and open decisions
System, product, and supplier interfaces
Production, inspection, test, and change information
Standards and review
Identify the owner, OEM, contract, ABYC, ISO, class, flag, and regulatory criteria that apply to the project. Translate them into design inputs, review points, evidence, and assigned responsibilities. Regulated calculations, structural substantiation, certification, and authority acceptance remain with the qualified or authorized party responsible for them.
