Some of the fruits of Fisher Maritime’s other areas of expertise have allowed us to provide unique publications to assist all walks of the marine industry, ranging from simple brochures detailing Fisher Maritime’s services to books providing insight into subjects relevant to the industry.
‘Three Papers’ Collection
Dr. Kenneth W. Fisher, FRINA, has assembled three very instructive professionally published papers based on his 45 years of involvement in the contracts for shipyard projects as arbitrator, contract developer, project manager, expert witness, and consultant.
Designers, project team members, specification writers, change order negotiators, project engineers, and others involved in the development and management of shipyard projects (including design) all will benefit professionally from these insights, analysis, observations, and guidance.
Known internationally for hundreds of presentations of his professional training course, “Contract Management for Ship Construction, Repair and Design,” Dr. Fisher shares this knowledge with the entire maritime industry through this collection of three papers.
Shipyard Projects: Planning & Management
An all-in-one, practical, portable and easy-to-use manual designed specifically for the unique challenges of this industry. This manual is based on critical insights generated from 40-plus years of hands-on work and analyses. It provides critical time- and money-saving solutions to challenges that adversely impact nearly every shipyard project.
Classification Misunderstandings
Misunderstandings of the roles, capabilities, standards, and procedures of ship classification organizations have contributed to physical casualties, financial losses, and loss of life of shipboard personnel. The purpose of this paper is to shine light on the actual roles of classification organizations and thereby assist the marine industry in understanding why unchallenged reliance on classification standards and assessments may not be suitable in certain instances.
