● Existing software does not cover the entire process, but focuses on delivering company specific
solutions rather than building an ecosystem.
● Users are left doing manual work and reinventing the wheel along the process.

5. Burden on ship manager
● Each ship manager creates his/her own standard in word/excel resulting in poor specifications.
● A poor specification leads to an additional cost of 5-15% on site.
● Agents function as middlemen, taking a 4-6% cut from the yard.
