YARD COMPLEXITY

A repair yard is the most complex operation in maritime.

Nothing in maritime is as operationally dense as a shipyard. At any moment, a mid-size repair yard has 4-12 vessels in dry-dock, on berth, or moored — each with hundreds of job cards specified by owners and charterers, dozens of contractor crews working in shifts, hundreds of material items being procured against tight timelines, and constant change orders as new defects emerge during inspection.

Every vessel has its own quote (sometimes per-job, sometimes lump-sum), its own owner who wants daily updates, and its own delivery deadline that triggers contractual penalties if missed. The yard\'s commercial team must hit margin targets while the technical team can\'t deliver late. WHIZMarine\'s shipyard module is built for exactly this complexity.

YARD WORKFLOWS

Built for how repair yards actually run.

Dry-dock & Berth Scheduling
Schedule across all yard capacity (graving docks, floating docks, berths). Resolve conflicts. Build the master timeline that every department works from.
Hierarchical Job Cards
Parent → tasks → sub-tasks. Each level: contractor, materials, labour, dependencies, photographic evidence, cost roll-up. Links to PMS defects from the vessel.
Contractor Management
Service catalogues, rate cards, three-way matched invoicing, performance scoring. Specialists for hull, machinery, electrical, paint, scaffolding.
Materials Procurement
Materials reserved per job card. Auto-trigger purchase requisitions. Goods receipt allocates against the right job card — no inventory leakage.
Labour Booking
Yard workforce hours booked against job cards. Real-time payroll cost accumulation. Productivity analytics per crew/per skill.
Project Costing & Margin
Live cost vs quote per vessel. Variation orders captured with owner approval flow. Change-order revenue tracking. Final billing reconciled against actuals.
Owner / Charterer Portal
Live milestone progress, daily photos, change orders awaiting approval, budget consumption against quote. Replaces daily WhatsApp updates.
HSE & Compliance
Permit-to-work, hot-work permits, confined space, working-at-height. Incident reporting, near-miss capture, HSE statistics.
WHY YARDS CHOOSE WHIZTEC

From spreadsheet chaos to a single yard view.

Built for repair yard reality
4-12 concurrent vessels. Hundreds of job cards. Dozens of contractor crews. Daily change orders. The platform was designed for this density.
Live margin against quote
Every job card cost is tracked in real-time. Change orders capture additional revenue. Commercial team sees margin daily, not monthly.
Yard floor + commercial = one view
Yard supervisors record progress. Commercial team sees margin. Owner sees photos. Same data. No more "ops vs finance" finger-pointing.
Multi-yard, multi-currency
Operate multiple yards (perhaps in different countries) as one business with consolidated reporting and per-yard P&L.
FREQUENTLY ASKED

Shipyard software, answered.

What software do shipyards use?
Shipyards use specialised yard management software covering dry-dock scheduling, repair job cards, contractor management, materials procurement, labour tracking and project costing across multiple concurrent vessels. WHIZMarine's shipyard module is in production at multiple Middle East yards, handling 4-12 vessels simultaneously per yard.
Can the software handle multiple vessels in dry-dock at the same time?
Yes — that's the core capability. A repair yard typically juggles 4-12 vessels at any moment, each with hundreds of job cards, contractor crews, procurement orders and owner billings. WHIZMarine schedules and costs all of them on one timeline, with live visibility from yard floor to commercial team.
How does WHIZMarine handle job cards?
Hierarchical structure: parent job card → tasks → sub-tasks. Each at any level can have contractor assignment, materials reservation, labour booking, dependencies on other tasks, photographic evidence, and cost roll-up. Job cards link to PMS defects from the vessel's own technical records.
Can owners track progress remotely?
Yes. Each owner (or charterer paying for the repair) sees a customer portal with live milestone progress, daily photos, time-stamped job-card completions, change orders awaiting approval, and budget consumption against quote. No more daily WhatsApp updates.
How is contractor management handled?
Contractors are registered as parties with their service catalogues and rates. Job cards assign work to specific contractors with quantity, rate and SLA. Time and materials are recorded in real time. Contractor invoices are three-way matched against assigned scope, recorded work, and pre-agreed rates.
How does materials procurement integrate?
Materials needed for each job card are reserved against stock or trigger purchase requisitions. Goods receipt at the yard auto-allocates against the job card. No materials are "lost" between purchase and consumption.
Does it support new-build as well as repair?
Yes. New-build yards have similar workflows (job cards, contractors, materials, labour, project cost) but operate on longer timelines (months to years) with more upfront engineering. The same platform handles both — repair yards switch projects monthly; new-build yards iterate on a few projects for years.
