With a number of major projects currently underway, including two 60+ metre yachts in-build at <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/12" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="CRN (Company)">CRN</a>, we sat down with Managing Director Taylor Craig, to find out more about the complexities behind new-build project management and to understand what sets the team at <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/227" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Moran Yacht & Ship (Company)">Moran Yacht &amp; Ship</a> apart. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/322169/image/large-d822bfa71ad50dbf5c6fb3e8f7a650af.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/322169">How involved is&nbsp;<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/227" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Moran Yacht & Ship (Company)">Moran</a>&nbsp;in the contractual process and why is this an important step for the success of a project?Our project managers work as the connecting bridge between the designers, shipyard and client; the point guard of the basketball team if you will. The aim is to become involved in the project from the moment of inception and to follow the journey right through to warranty, because this enables us to help define the scope of the project and to maintain control over the project through every stage.&nbsp;This is incredibly important for a number of reasons. Firstly, we invest a great deal of time in understanding the owners wishes and expectations before a builder, and sometimes even designer, is involved, which allows us to safeguard those wishes during the entire project. Secondly, because a thorough scope leads to a clear contractual agreement and only a really thorough specification can prevent change orders, which are the number one issue with long term build projects.Our team lays the foundation for the new-build project, and the earlier they are involved, the stronger that foundation is. We need to know and understand what was agreed from the beginning and that is why this process is essential for the project's success. At <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/227" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Moran Yacht & Ship (Company)">Moran</a> we really believe in this foundational approach and we pride ourselves in delivering on that construction specification to the highest level. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/281145/image/large-49e45fdb7ae6dc0e2d2e3930b28dc7c5.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/281145">How do your team protect the interests of the owner during the course of complex and lengthy builds?It is really important for our team to have a good history and relationship with clients, designers and builders in order to advance discussions and to keep the client’s priorities as the focus. That knowledge helps them understand how the different parties function; an invaluable skill when it comes to items of contention for example. It also allows you to troubleshoot issues with the shipyard, in order to problem solve and come up with compromises that reduce costs while delivering results.Of course, having that high-level <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/227" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Moran Yacht & Ship (Company)">Moran</a> specification gives you a head start because it allows you to eliminate areas of possible contention or dispute before they arise. The goal is to prevent or minimise change orders that increase costs for both the client and the builder and we are known for succeeding in delivering on the contract price.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/199064/image/large-b6ea741492216a03f6fd2cbb6c633845.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/199064"> What do you think sets&nbsp;<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/227" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Moran Yacht & Ship (Company)">Moran</a>&nbsp;apart?We demand a deep level of technical knowledge and knowhow within the team, which means that all of our client representatives and brokers have a robust network of expertise around them to help overcome any challenges. <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/227" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Moran Yacht & Ship (Company)">Moran</a> is also unique in that we don’t put our team into specific boxes. Rather, we ensure that each member of the team is competent in performing the full spectrum of brokerage tasks, from charter to new-build management.&nbsp;This creates a real sense of collaboration with the projects we work on, both internally, as well as &nbsp;with the shipyards and designers. A big part of that comes from the relationships that our team builds with those stakeholders. That really sets us apart; that and the fact that we are so focused on the early development of that high-level specification that really enables us to deliver the promised results.&nbsp;While we are the advocate for the client, we are also there to support the entire ecosystem of the project and we make sure that before we set out on any build, we do a thorough due diligence of all parties involved. At the end of the day we don't want shipyards or clients losing money, so it is our responsibility to create and develop solutions that benefit everyone.&nbsp;Our belief is that our team’s knowledge and experience enable them to take care of all aspects of a project to the highest level, which &nbsp;we demand for our clients.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/311861/image/large-3c8832474c4be2d808b715bb1c02e48b.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/311861">Looking specifically at the recently delivered projects&nbsp;<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/8278" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Kismet122.0m (400'3&quot;)Lürssen Yachts2024">Kismet</a>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/8621" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Asia61.0m (200'2&quot;)Royal Hakvoort Shipyard2024">Asia</a>, can you share an insight into some of the complexities?We are very proud of both of those projects. The 122-metre <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/8278" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Kismet122.0m (400'3&quot;)Lürssen Yachts2024">Kismet</a> is the third new construction project that <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/227" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Moran Yacht & Ship (Company)">Moran</a> had done with that client, which is a rare thing and a testament to the success of our process and team.&nbsp;It is always our goal that clients will return to us yacht after yacht. Too often you hear about an Owner having a bad experience during a build, they decide that yachting is not for them, and when that happens the whole industry suffers. <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/8278" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Kismet122.0m (400'3&quot;)Lürssen Yachts2024">Kismet</a>’s owner has also been building successively larger yachts each time, from 68-metres, to 95-metres and now 122-metres. That is really representative of the clients we work with today, who are mostly in that upper market segment. This, again, says a lot about our capabilities because these are increasingly complex projects. A return client like this also demonstrates the trust the client has in us to deliver what we promise, for the best possible price, which is the standard we set for ourselves.&nbsp;The 61-metre <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/8621" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Asia61.0m (200'2&quot;)Royal Hakvoort Shipyard2024">Asia</a> at <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/40" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Royal Hakvoort Shipyard (Company)">Royal Hakvoort</a> was also a lovely and exciting project.

They are a great example of a shipyard that we spent time looking into before we began working with them.

We are then heavily involved over the following years in overseeing the warranty process to ensure that everything continues to run smoothly.&nbsp;Our fleet is given a high level of attention, not just from the management team, but also from the brokers and support staff. The goal is that owners can turn to <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/227" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Moran Yacht & Ship (Company)">Moran</a> for any questions and queries relating to their yacht, and if one person doesn't have the answer because it's not related to their involvement in the project, someone within the team will. Again that comes down to our development of a deeply knowledgeable and robust team, able to understand and quickly address any issues that might arise throughout yacht ownership.
