Read the guide ↗Preparing a complete shipyard supply list
Make purchasing easier with part codes, technical dimensions and delivery details.
Group the list by operation
Organise deck, mooring, lifting, maintenance, hardware and personal protective equipment under separate headings. Give each product a line number because a list may contain parts with similar names.
Include enough technical detail on each line
Write the product name, quantity, dimensions, material and manufacturer part code where available. Drawing numbers, photographs and existing product labels help matching. State clearly whether alternative products are acceptable.
State documentation and delivery conditions
Specify required test or conformity documents for each product. A delivery address, requested date and preference for partial deliveries help assess the quotation. Delivery time and availability are confirmed during quotation.
Compare quotes using the same information
Consider model, quantity, technical details, documentation scope and delivery terms together. Comparing only product names and prices can hide important differences. Complete missing dimensions before placing an order.
Technical assessment note
This guide provides general information. Product-specific selection, use and inspection must follow current manufacturer documentation and assessment by qualified personnel.
