Use the yacht’s current berth and proposed yard to plan inspections, approvals and installation. A Syrian owner can set the interior brief remotely. Someone at the boat still needs to measure, compare physical samples and confirm the fit.

Start with vessel and use rather than the owner’s address

Record location, sailing plans, flag, typical guests and the actual spaces in scope. Request photos from the entry and of any open cabinet, hatch or adjacent finish. Clarify whether the instruction is for design only or also for sourcing and fitting.

Choose the person who checks measurements aboard and who receives the signed reference package. Agree language, communication timing and how revised files are issued.

Approve finishes with physical references

Use identical coded samples for the owner and yard and compare the samples in the yacht’s light. Tie each decision to a drawing version, photograph and date. Confirm the first production item with a fit trial.

For parts coming across borders, identify packing dimensions, delivery stage, local handling, substitutions and spare parts. Use a dated quote for the actual route and current requirements.

Set the coordination scope and handover

Identify the authority for the flag and work location with the captain or specialist. The IMO guidance provides general context for fire protection, and UK MCA guidance covers good practice on repairs and alterations in its own context.

Agree who checks fit, retained access and operation and who signs the marine requirements. Attach photographs, sample codes and known deviations to the handover.
