Owner’s-side electrical oversight from specification to delivery

Three Lürssen Vegesack builds over 150 m: two from the specification, one at delivery. On the owner’s side of the table from the first specification to the first guest trip.

The expensive problems in a new-build electrical installation are decided in the first year of design and discovered in the last month before delivery. The job is to close that gap.

How a build runs

  1. Stage 1Concept & specification

    Owner requirements turned into a technical specification the yard can price: power philosophy, redundancy, lighting control, AV/IT and networks.

  2. Stage 2Design review

    Yard and supplier drawings checked for compliance, interfaces and maintainability before steel is cut or cable is pulled.

  3. Stage 3Build supervision

    Regular presence at the yard through each stage of construction: installation quality, factory acceptance tests at the suppliers, harbour acceptance tests alongside, change requests and clear reporting to the owner’s team.

  4. Stage 4Sea trials

    Performance and safety trials at sea witnessed against agreed procedures; punch lists closed, not deferred.

  5. Stage 5Delivery & handover

    Regulatory documentation ready, crew briefed, and the systems proven before the first guest steps aboard.
