How to choose a shipbuilding supplier
Define the vessel type, program, work package and reference documents before comparing suppliers. For a part or assembly, specify materials, dimensions, inspection, traceability and shipyard delivery. For systems, add interfaces, testing and sustainment needs. Confirm contract-specific access and security requirements. Match published capabilities to the actual package: a naval program does not establish that all services are available to all buyers.
