| dc.description.abstract | Blohm + Voss Repair GmbH (the company), Hamburg has established a competitive name on the maritime market for repair, conversion and refit performances of cruise vessels, mega yachts and literally all kind of civil and marine vessels and has started to strive for projects in the on-growing Offshore and Oil & Gas (OG) market. Prospects for the near future are focused on the conversion of vessels working for the supply, operation, maintenance and/or accommodation sector in within market of offshore developments and structures.
Two different large/long-term projects have recently being processed and completed upon satisfaction of the customers. The FPSO Enquest Producer formerly UISGE GORM towed to the yard in January 2013 and completed in October 2013 had received a “Lifetime-Extension” with new fit-ups, conversions and repairs throughout both main divisions of the vessel, marine and topsides (“offshore”). The repair of the FPSO Petrojarl Banff, started in September 2012 and completed in March 2014, was necessary due to damages on the turret of the vessel suffered from a storm in December 2011.
The extensive experiences gained from both projects revealed a considerable amount of flaws in within the company’s organisation and the prerequisites necessary for the execution of projects with comparable high scopes and performance complexities, as was the case on both above-mentioned offshore projects. Based on the investigations on currently applied structures and states in the processing of repair projects at the yard, experiences gained from the two large projects, and the implementation of risk analysis the main approach of this work is to provide a sample of major states flawing or limiting not only the progress but the success of projects processed at the yard. The baseline will be the investigation on currently applied processing standards and structures and supported by further research on experiences gained from the two projects mentioned above. Based on this information the further investigation will focus on the analysis and assessment of respective causes and consequences, the establishment of a risk picture and the analysis and proposal of corrective and preventive measures to be applied on these states to improve and support the yard’s quality, preparedness and good practice in the execution of future projects.
Due to the complexity and size of this topic a total (complete) risk analysis as part of this project is not feasible and not the intention. Thus the analysis of this work places the main focus on the presentation of the general approach by following current applications, providing a good overview of flaws and constraints, and the demonstration of potential attributions risk analysis could have on the overall success of a project if implemented in certain organisational levels of Blohm + Voss Repair GmbH. | nb_NO |
