3.4 Yard or subcontractors

  3.4.1 The yard/subcontractor's is part of the Submitter and provides information for the analyses carried out in order to achieve the approval by the Approval Authority.

  3.4.2 The yard/subcontractor's main concern will be to have concise information at an early stage. Depending on the contract, an alternative and/or equivalent design may have both advantages and disadvantages. Yards and subcontractors need to be able to account for the differences in time allocation compared to conventional designs in order to be able to optimize their building schedule when placing subcontracts and when ordering auxiliary equipment. The new building schedule process and milestones will invariably be influenced by decisions made in the process.
