Get Set for Workboat – Retrofit or Newbuild?
Diverse Marine managing director Ben Colman presents his thoughts on the relative benefits of retrofits versus newbuilds in the next episode of our Get Set for Workboat series.
Workboat Association CEO Kerrie Forster is joined by Chartwell Marine MD Andy Page to moderate the third episode of our session looking at the costs and challenges involved with newbuild and retrofitted vessels.
Ben will talk about the projects his shipyard is working on at the moment and what it’s done so far – with a look at the cost savings that can be made with retrofits and innovations that can be implemented.
A qualified naval architect with a wealth of industry experience, Ben talks about about supply chain delays are easing up a little at last, and how a financing package that Diverse Marine offers is a sign of confidence in a growing sector.
Diverse Marine is based in Cowes, on the Isle of Wight, and offers an expanding range of vessels including crew transfer vessels, patrol, interdiction & military craft, pilot boats and fishing boats.
