NEWBUILDING INTELLIGENCE / BUYER’S GUIDE
What would you
like to build?
Describe your vessel, explore experienced shipyards and prepare a brief for the yards you want to contact.
Search by vessel type, size and fuel. Add delivery dates and other requirements to your project brief below.
Or choose a vessel type
A broad idea is enough. Refine your requirements as you explore.
SHIPYARDS TO CONSIDER
Which shipyards could fit?
How we rank shipyards
The evidence score uses relevant order volume (35 points), recorded deliveries (35), orders placed in the last 24 months (20), and size similarity when a target is given (10). Without a target, the first three components are scaled to 100.
Volume uses a logarithmic scale, capped at 50 orders, 30 deliveries and 10 recent orders. Only delivered, on-order and delivery-expected records within your order-date window count. Cancelled orders, rumours, options and letters of intent are excluded. Sponsorship never changes the ranking.
This is an index of recorded experience, not a quality rating or probability of success. Source-linked site evidence is shown separately and does not alter this historical-order score. A scheduled delivery does not establish an available building slot. Confirm facilities, class approval, fuel experience, commercial terms and availability with the yard.
SAVED ON THIS DEVICE
Your shortlist
Save up to four yards in this browser. “Compare shipyards” checks all of them against your current search, even if you saved them during a different search.
Checking the same project criteria for every yard…
Before you invite a yard to tender: confirm available slots, construction-site dimensions, comparable delivered vessels, fuel and class requirements, financing and refund guarantees. Add these checks to your project brief →
Build your shortlist with confidence
Start with the vessel you want to build. Review matching orders and delivered vessels, then compare up to four shipyards side by side.
