Offshore project delays impact the bottom line: For an industry with little tolerance for missed deadlines, a recent spike in delayed offshore newbuild projects has frustrated yards, suppliers, owners, and customers alike

摘要

Delays are a constant threat to profitable project execution, and enough delays can derail a project completely. Project delays clearly pose a serious risk, particularly for construction yards. Launched in February 2009, DNV's investigation into the causes of offshore newbuild project delays was conceived to identify leading causes for these delays and offer recommendations for avoiding them. The study was coordinated by a five-person DNV team that met with a number of yard managers, owners, and manufacturers and collected data from DNV's international network of personnel with experience in offshore newbuilding.
