Marine and shipbuilding
Owner and buyer side inspection at Turkish shipyards and marine equipment suppliers, alongside classification society surveys.
01Owner's interests beside class requirements
Turkish shipyards in Tuzla, Yalova and other locations build and repair vessels and produce marine steel structures and outfitting. Classification societies survey against class rules; owners and buyers often need their own inspection of workmanship, coating and specification compliance.
QUALITAS TR provides buyer side inspection and resident representation for marine equipment, steel outfitting, piping and coating.
02Typical quality risks we see
- Coating application outside conditions
- Welding workmanship below specification
- Piping cleanliness and testing
- Schedule pressure reducing inspection
- Documentation gaps
