Yacht Management

Refit and Repair Planning Assistance

For captains and engineers that wish to manage their own refits, JMS Ltd will provide a structure to plan a refit or a large project and will provide office based assistance to enable the crew to monitor the progress, budget and quality of the project. Should the owner / captain wish for JMS Ltd. to run the project, JMS Ltd provides a separate project and Refit Management service for new build and refits. This is a separate service to, and requires a separate quote to this proposal.

Refit Project Management

At the request of the Owner or Captain, JMS Ltd. can provide a quote to carry out the project management for a large refit / repair. JMS will prepare the technical specification, tender to shipyards and contractors, negotiate shipyard agreements and oversee the refit monitoring time, quality and budget. Depending on the time required on the project JMS Ltd can appoint a full-time or part time Project Manager to oversee all project work. The appointed on-site engineer supervises the project and controls the schedule and budget spend as well as ensuring the quality of work remains consistent and high. The Project Manager reports to JMS Ltd. at all times to ensure the Owner’s requirements are being met. Through our Refit and New Construction work we also enjoy regular contact with Manufacturers, Shipyards and Service Engineers all around the world so getting the right person for the job, on time and on budget is rarely an issue.

Planned Maintenance

A planned maintenance system increases the safety and reliability of any yacht, significantly reducing the risk of Operational Performance failure. To ensure the full team are prepared and drilled on all aspects of maintenance and safety, JMS Ltd. ,working together with the Crew, can set up planned maintenance procedures in accordance with Manufacturer’s Guidelines, Classification Society Regulations and Flag State requirements. Managers also make regular yacht visits to ensure vessels are being maintained to the very highest of standards.

Technical Documentation Control

JMS Ltd. is using a system that gives access to records and essential technical documentation both to the crew and the team ashore. JMS Ltd. can also file and record up-to-date records of all the technical documents, drawings and manuals for your vessel during Refit Management or through the general operation on the yacht.
