FMI was tasked with defining the capabilities, the process and practice required and to evaluate the shipyards. The two yards were eventually selected through an open and fair national competition.
We were appointed in 2010, and used our proprietary shipyard benchmarking, capabilities assessment and capacity assessment systems to establish the current levels of applied technology in each competing shipyard.
