Abstract

Ship investment projects are primarily carried out to insure subsistence, growth and development of shipping companies and project oriented companies for multiproject business – shipyards and their subcontractors. Every project, investment project included, connects different systems and individuals outside and within a shipping company. Therefore, ship investment projects produce project systems aiming at specific targets throughout the project lifetime. A ship investment project produces a project system within a shipping company and a project oriented company – a shipyard that launches and carries out the ship investment project. We can distinguish two project systems: • project system of a client (investor) who commissions and carries out a ship investment project for personal purposes, calls for tenders and afterwards signs a contract with the selected contractor (shipyard), • project system of a contractor (within a shipyard) who manages and carries out the commissioned ship investment project. Both systems are interconnected business wise – from the tender phase through implementation all the way to the end of the contractual obligation or other warranties. This is an integrated business system that works based upon a concluded contract thus connecting project and strategy goals of a client with those of a contractor. It is a special form of a project-business partnership. The below presented model of organising a ship investment project implemented within a shipyard, enables a successful achievement of the objective i.e. the delivery of a built ship investment project – a ship, to the client – a shipping company, in accordance with the contracted parameters. It is by this act that the planned goal of a shipping company –the investor, of a shipyard –the performer and of this research paper is achieved.
