How PMT Selects the Right Shipyard

Every refit project is matched to the specific facility that provides the highest skill at the best commercial rate.

01

Project Scope Complexity

Matching heavy structural steel/aluminium work to yards with naval architects, and luxury interior woodwork to specialized joinery workshops.

02

Budget Optimization

Capitalizing on regional labor rate advantages (e.g. Turkey and Greece) to deliver 30-40% savings on major labor-intensive projects.

03

Physical Yard Capabilities

Verifying drydock syncrolift tonnage, draft over the sill, crane capacity, and climate-controlled paint shed dimensions.

04

Calendar & Delivery Deadline

Securing drydock slots in yards with verified on-time completion records, avoiding facilities plagued by backlog delays.
