Plan Approval

Atlas Seaway provides shipowners and maritime stakeholders with independent plan approval services as part of our turnkey supervision solutions. During the early design stage of any newbuilding, our experts thoroughly review drawings, specifications, and technical documents to ensure full compliance with international regulations, class requirements, and contractual obligations.

Protecting Owners Through Design Review

A detailed plan approval process ensures that the latest technical standards, operational efficiency, and environmental requirements are built into the vessel from the start. Our team works with shipowners to incorporate client-specific needs, ensuring all design documents are accurate, practical, and compliant before construction begins.

Work With Us to Deliver Excellence

We maintain the highest standards of personal conduct and quality work of all our members by imposing a rigorous hiring process and enforcing strict employment criteria.

What We Deliver in Plan Approval

Regulatory Alignment

We anticipate changes in rules and regulations and apply them to newbuilding projects where appropriate. Once aligned with the owner, we negotiate required modifications or improvements with the shipyard.

Flexible Systems

We adapt to client requirements by using shipyard e-plan approval systems or working from client offices near the yard. Our flexibility ensures smooth coordination and transparency at every stage.

Close Collaboration

We work hand in hand with owners throughout the review process — from attending model tests to engaging in technical discussions — ensuring long-term CAPEX savings and reduced OPEX costs.

Efficient Implementation

Our supervisors ensure that every modification and improvement is tracked, negotiated, and implemented properly. This results in a compliant design that meets expectations, specifications, and shipbuilding contracts.

Reducing Risks Before Construction Begins

The plan approval stage is one of the most critical phases of any shipbuilding project. By resolving design issues early, Atlas Seaway prevents costly delays, change orders, and compliance failures later in the project. Our independent oversight ensures every drawing and document provides a solid foundation for safe, efficient, and timely vessel delivery.
