Services for Shipyards
What we can offer your Shipyard
Your Build. Your Brand. Our Documentation
From initial design to final handover, your reputation is built on meticulous detail. Partner with Sentini Marine to turn your latest yacht’s documentation into an asset that protects your bottom line and elevates your brand.
The Shipyard’s challenge
You manage some of the most complex, bespoke projects in the world. When you deliver a superyacht, you’re not simply handing over a vessel; you’re handing over your reputation. But what happens when a client’s team can’t find a critical diagram, a custom system breaks due to poor instructions, or a costly warranty claim lands in your inbox?
Generic manuals and scattered OEM documents can undermine even the most exceptional build.
InSight: 3D-model visibility for smarter handovers
Using the vessel’s 3D model, InSight gives shipyards an x-ray-style view behind finished bulkheads and upholstered panelling, helping teams and future crew understand exactly where pipes, cable trays, equipment and other concealed services sit. For shipyards, that turns InSight into a stronger handover asset: it supports faster fault-finding, reduces unnecessary dismantling during rectification, and gives owner teams a more useful digital reference once the vessel is in service.
What this delivers:
Give owner teams and crew a faster way to locate concealed infrastructure without damaging finishes.
Support warranty and aftercare conversations with a practical, vessel-specific reference tool.
Reduce unnecessary strip-out and disruption during snagging, rectification and aftercare work.
Add a modern, high-value digital deliverable to the handover package.
Reflection: 3D laser scanning
Precision Data, Less Time in Yard
Reflection gives shipyards a precise digital twin of the vessel, capturing real-world conditions so project teams, designers and owner representatives can work from verified data rather than assumptions. It is especially valuable when planning interior fit-out, routing, structural modifications or future refit work, helping you validate spaces and access before costly rework begins.
What this gives you:
- Capture accurate as-built geometry to strengthen handover packs and future yard support.
- Allow remote teams to plan upgrades, fit-out and modifications from verified vessel data.
- Reduce rework, clashes and scope drift by checking routes, clearances and interfaces early.
The Technical Operations Manual (TOM) and SOLAS:
Protecting your bottom line
Sentini Marine offers a start-to-finish documentation service that turns a basic build requirement into a powerful value-adding deliverable, strengthening the shipyard’s handover process and client satisfaction tool for your business.
A Sentini TOM and SOLAS is not only a tool for the vessel’s operators; it’s a strategic tool for your warranty and project teams. We take every piece of technical data and turn it into a single, cohesive, and easy-to-use manual that reflects the precise “as-built” reality of your vessel.
What this means for you:
Reduced warranty claims: Our clear, authoritative instructions reduce misuse and expensive callbacks. If an issue arises, the TOM provides a verifiable record that can help distinguish between user error and a manufacturing fault.
Enhanced resale value: A quality technical manual becomes a key selling point for your client, demonstrating your commitment to meticulous detail.
Streamlined yard periods: Our comprehensive manuals and diagrams increase efficiency during refits and maintenance, saving you and the owner time and money.
Professional partnership: Our team of 50+ expert authors means you can trust the documentation to be professional and complete, freeing your in-house engineers to focus on what they do best: building.
How we work together
We can tailor our partnership to suit your build process, there are two ways you can choose to work with us.
Option 1: Integrated Solution
We act as a subcontractor, and our documentation services are included in the build specification. You pay us directly, and our costs are part of the overall build contract with the owner.
This option provides a fully integrated, streamlined process and a single point of contact for the entire documentation lifecycle.
Option 2: Recommended Partner
You recommend our services to the owner, and we handle the project and billing directly with them. We still work closely with your project teams to ensure the documentation aligns with the vessel’s specifications and your exacting standards.
This option provides a clear distinction between the build contract and the documentation project while still ensuring the highest quality.
The Sentini Advantage
Leading shipyards like Luerssen already trust Sentini Marine as a standard part of their build process. We can white-label documentation under your brand, ensuring seamless integration with your existing services.
Used by leading yards and project teams to raise operational standards and reduce safety drift. Written by 50+ ex-masters, engineers and officers.
