Yachts
Safinah provides authoritative, expert advice on the whole chain of activities that links ships, structures, coatings and the environment.
Appearance and performance are equally critical in the very demanding Yacht sector. The cost of failure is unacceptable to paint manufacturers, owners, and builders alike.
The breadth of our team's expertise from formulation to application and maintenance throughout the life of a yacht can help you identify and resolve problems at the design, specification, and build stages.
When a problem does arise, we can respond quickly to analyse and identify the cause of the problem and recommend efficient and cost-effective solutions. Our advice is robust, independent, and comprehensive.
Case Study: Defining coating procedures for a mega yacht
The Client
A leading European Mega-yacht builder and their customer
The Project
To ensure that the build of a new mega-yacht could be completed on time and to budget.
Safinah worked with both parties to define procedures and methods. We provided on the ground advice and equipment for measuring the cosmetic finish and detailed procedures for monitoring the progress of the work.
The Outcome
Client was extremely satisfied with Safinah's work and has retained Safinah for further consulting in order to complete the project.
Improved communication between client and yard, improved progress of the work and improved quality of the application with a reduction in re-work.
Case Study: Functional specifications to reduce through life costs
The Client
The owner of a fleet in Northern Europe
The Project
To develop a method to assess the technical merit of bids from rival paint companies after the owner had put a fleet coating contract out to tender.
Safinah used a functional coating specification approach to identify the key attributes for the client in the critical vessel areas.
The Outcome
The owner selected coatings based on through life costs and technical merit - rather than simply on the basis of the lowest bid.
The selected products are performing in line with expectations.
The client continues to use Safinah for technical support work.
